Not sure how much accuracy there is to gain, but it's still nice to see actual innovation to the platform with precision in mind...

 
According to Drakes website they are getting an average of .6 -. 7 MOA with a Satern button rifle barrel and .5 - .6 MOA with a Satern cut rifle barrel with the smallest group of .366 from the button rifle barrel and .186 from the cut rifle barrel. They said both rifles in their testing were using their 18" barrels with Federal 77 grain OTM ammo.

The regular Athena system will have a price of $1776 while the premium system will be $1995. Interesting system, wish they showed how it actually works though rather than just a description. It's also at a pretty good price point if their accuracy claims hold up. I'm also wondering if the ammo used was custom loads or Federals FGMM ammo since they don't say.
