Check these rifles out. 
http://deserttacticalarms.com/index.html

Cmshoot over at snipersparadise checked them out at shot and sounded pretty impressed with them.  They will be going for about $3500 and they claim they will all shoot .5MOA.  About the same price as a good custom rig.  The biggest downside is my Remmy VS with very little custom work shoots .5MOA and it only cost me $850.  Still looks like a great rifle though, I am really liking the bullpup design.  I think my next rifle purchase will be one of those MSAR STG 556 rifles.

Nice site, and interesting guns. The only bull pups I have experience with had mushy triggers. I would like to see how they do it with their design.
 
Thanks, Super

Cmshoot said the trigger was fully adjustable, you can even change it from single stage to 2 stage.  He said is was very comfortable to lay down on top of and even though the bolt was about 4 to 5 inches back from a normal gun it was still very easy to use and very smooth.

 Very cool system, but I simply cringe at the thought of having to fire a braked .338 LM
 with the muzzle that close to my face. I honestly don't think I could force myself to squeeze the trigger.

It would be a .308 for me.  I bought a 300 WSM precision rifle that has a break on it and I know what you mean, the shock wave is intense.  I cannot imagine a .338.
In March I am headed down to Front Sight for the Precision rifle class and I am going down a day early to play with one of the instructors.  He has a .50 and a .338 Lapua, I can't wait to try them out.

I was at the range the other day shooting my 243 when I was knocked sideways from the muzzle blast next to me.  The guy was shooting a 338 LM.  I had to move down quite a few lanes.
