I'm a little surprised they didn't go 338 Federal though. :dunno:

Post by: yorketransport on March 30, 2019, 02:22:13 PM: It's the bolt lift. All the ones I've shot or handled had a heavy, gritty bolt lift. It just felt like the timing was completely off. All of the one's I've shot were very accurate though, so they've got that going for them.

Sems like they need a high gloss finish, exaggerated pistol grip and some white plastic diamonds inlaid to complete the look.
