Alex Bullpup bolt action rifles

Also on display at MSPO 2008 were the Alex bullpup bolt action rifles. They look awesome. As far as I know they come in three models. The Alex762 (7.62x51mm), Alex -338 (8.6x70mm / .338 Magnum Lapua) and the Alex Sports Tactical (7.62x51mm).

It is so pretty I could not help posting another photo

The Alex-338 weights 6.5 kg without scope and 7.3 kg with the scope, 0.4 kg more than the Alex-762. It has a 5 round magazine. I can’t read Polish and I am unable to find more useful information on the rifles.

Earlier this year US firm Desert Tactical Arms launched a bolt action bullpup rifle at SHOT.

More information here, here and here.

I have done my best to find accurate information about this firearm on the Polish MSPO 2008 website. I do not speak or read Polish so I had to rely on Google Translate. If I got something wrong, please correct me in the comments.

    There are some links in the wikipedia article that link to some forums with some good info and pics. I’ll link a few here that are of particular interest to me.

    These are all of the Tactical Sport:

    Phil, thanks for the link.

    I changed the wiki link because the blog comment cut off the end of the original link. It points to the same page.

    Never liked bullpup design. With that said they problem can make a killing if it is exported to the US.

    looks interesting, but wouldn’t it work better with a straight-pull action and the bolt handle extended forwards a bit?
