Only just heard of this today, does anyone know much about it? Who'd have thought that L85 wouldn't be the ultimate weapon and we'd maybe want a 7.62mm semi auto rifle with a 20 round box mag some day. Hmmm, that description sounds like another rifle I've heard of somewhere.....

Seriously, I know that this isn't that similar to an SLR, but its interesting how we've come full circle.
