Will be interesting to see how it goes in reviews as there are many good riffles in the market. As long as it priced right is reliable and shoots well it could succeed. As with most things it all comes down to the best bang for the buck (couldn't resist)

I have a Lithgow .22 BA, had it for yonks.
It will be interesting to see how it goes, price will be critical.

While the basic Ford Six was code named Barra, the Turbo version clearly deserved its very own moniker – again enter Gordon Barfield.
We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about.
“Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”.

Hoping they've gone for quality here... last thing we need is another cheap rifle that doesn't perform. Maybe offer a .5 moa guarantee?

Great news!! The old Lithgow .22's would still be sitting in farm sheds around the country by the thousand. They were extremely popular and even ratty looking ones are still perfectly acceptable today as a hunting rifle for rabbits and so-on.

Great to see they're back!
