"The development of the rimmed .307 Win. began in 1980 with the first public
announcement in Dec 1982. The cartridge and the Model 94XTR Angle Eject
Carbine chambered for it were not available until early 1983....."

As far as I can tell from the pictures it is basically a rimmed
.308 Winchester. Bit of an oddball but it's quite interesting.
I'm surprised I haven't come across it before. Bit of a
p---take to rechamber .308s to it to avoid a ban on military
calibres, the conversion must take about five minutes!
Might be useful for PR I suppose, in a similar vein to the
Browning BLR, though it looks as though you have to use flatpoint
bullets in the tubular mags. Mag capacity is a bit limited as
well, but I suspect it would be quite fast.
