The same Spanish firm that produces the Remington Genesis also produces a slightly altered flavor of the same rifle badged the Yukonfor Traditions. The swing block design itself is not new, 1800's in fact. However, one must wonder if this will be prove to actually improve anything or just be "different".

For me personnally, I'll pass on the Genesis/Yukon as I don't care for the looks and ergonomics. Plus, I just can't see where the swing block is going to be all that and a bag of chips. Well see. Who knows, the thing just might end up being a quirky but reasonably priced tack driving wonderstick.

Either way, I am at least glad that it's here as more ML's in the marketare a better thing. And some folks may like it and thats fine. Choice is good.

I just wish that Remington would not have mothballed the Rem700ML. I love mine. I sort of expected more from Remington than the Genesis. Something more original and produced here in America would have been nice.
