I was tempted to buy one recently when shopping for another 223 bolt gun, saw them on sale for $999 which was a fantastic price as most sites have them for around $1300, but ended up going with a Ruger American Ranch. How do you find the side loading mag? The light barrel and side loading on is ultimately what made me go a different route, but they're really neat rifles and I really like the look of them, just wish they came with a bottom loading mag and a heavy barrel option, or even made them AR barrel compatible so you could swap it to a heavy AR barrel. I believe they use a different barrel thread and mounting style vs an AR? 

Congrats though, they're neat rifles!

I don't find the side loading mag to be an issue. Would hate it if it was a semi though. The medium to light Barrel does get hot if you run alot of rounds in a short period through it but the fact the rifle is only 6lbs makes it worth the trade off. I'm looking for a second bolt action though to be a little more heavy duty. Not sure if I'll drop down to a 17.hmr or upgrade to a .308 probably ruger
