damo, the K8 is a good rifle. The specs are:
20" Bull Barrel, 416 Stainless Steel with a satin, bead blasted finish, 1X9 or optional 1X8 twist on their 5.56 offering, and it should have "Targetmatch" pantographed on the lower. As factory issued, should have an A2 stock, but could be ordered with a 6-position collapsable. MSRP is $908.70.

The rifle is also offered in 6.8 SPC.

I've held one, but have not shot one. I have a couple K-16s which are similar, but with 16" bull barrels made from 4140 Chromemoly Steel chambered in both 5.56 and 6.8. I also have one of their K68s.

Heads up, though. The chambers/bore are NOT chrome lined, a decision they made to increase accuracy.

Have fun with it!
