Saritch = Buzzard in Russian. I think it's Cyrillic or Russian = CAPblY (roughly those letters).
Saritch 308 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It's supposedly uses an action like the TKB (Russian bullpup made in the 1960s, best barrel length to Overall weapon length).

It's also supposedly to be modular, like the XM8 is, with several variants.

Supposedly they were going to have it in Black, Green, Tan, and Blue (to denote Navy or Civie version ? ). Supposedly the green was a nod to the vid game HALO, with the weapon supposedly being futuristic.

It was going to be tested in late 2010 but all news has stopped appearing on it, so either it ran out of funding or went into secret production.

Also why would a Russian Arms developer choose .308? Maybe a rimmed 7.62x54R won't work in that TKB action? Or Maybe they want to use it for an export product to NATO countries?
