Are they available already? I haven't seen them yet.

I've read a little about them and they seem good if you want something built solid and standard with no options but many nice features included. What kills them from me is the single feeding magazine that doesn't allow the gun to be top-loaded.

The 30 TC - I really don't see the point of it. It's just a short action cartridge with 30-06 power and the 30-06 rim. If you want more power in a short action, there's the 300 WSM. If you want standard power in a short action, there's the 308. They're just splitting hairs with ballistic performance.

That being said, I don't see it being a bad round if you want something that's just different. But that's all that it is - it's different.
