Love Your .223 But Hate Your Varmint Hunting Rifle's Ergonomics?

The Firearm Blog mentioned a logical extension of a concept which I am, in retrospect, surprised not to have seen before. A bolt-action AR. You have a straight-pull bolt gun with the ergonomics you know and love. High capacity magazines, adjustable butt stock, all sorts of rails, and about a jillion aftermarket accessories available?

WIN!

Nevermind that it's still a poodle-shooter. You can get anything from .22LR to .50BMG AR upper receiver conversions, and this concept should would work with any of them. Sure it's a technological step backwards, or a least sideways, but it fills a niche that I'm pretty sure a lot of hunters out there didn't even know they wanted to fill. Great success.
