They use a high quality Lothar Walther barrel albeit with a funny contour for a target rifle. My question for Steve is this, if these rifles are single shot why is there a magazine release visible in the pictures? That button above the front edge of the trigger guard and in front of the bolt handle is the magazine release. If these are pre-production and they did not have any stocks without the cutouts then I understand but in the picture they all have magazine releases.

I always thought an AR30 in .308 was silly. For that matter why have one in 30-06 if you can have one in .300 Win Mag. I am concerned about Armalite maintaining Tactical quality (NATO) and going for sales at Gander Mountain. Why .338 Win Mag if you can have .338 Lapua! Give me a .300 Lapua, a .300-378 Weatherby, or a.338 edge, but not a .270. I don't even use my pre-64 .270 for much any more. These are single shot? The only interesting cartridge in the whole group is the 7mm Rem Mag. Come on Armalite... add a couple more accessory rails, a longer barrel, anything but a bunch of hunting rounds!! My Kimber Sonora is for Elk, not my Armalite. An AR30 in .270 does seem silly if you can get one in 7mm Rem Mag. I always thought an AR30 in .308 was silly.
