This will be a running review as i just got the rife last week.
First Impression- super light, the folding stock was stiff but after a few times it was easy to unlock and move. The folding stock does not lock when collapsed but it is such a tight fit and fits perfectly around the bolt that i do not see that ever being a issue. The stock when folded does not rattle or make any noise, when locking it back into place it make less noise than a MDT stock. CONs- length of pull, seems like i will have to figure out how to adjust it. not sure yet.
Bolt- super smooth, smoothest i own. not saying a lot but it made me so happy to use it. no issue feeding. I did find that shooting Winchester rounds, the bolt needed a little more force. which was odd. I did not have any issues with the Hornady's.
Trigger- easy adjustments, you do not need to take the gun apart to set poundage which is amazing. I do not see any cons personally.
Stock- overall no issues for what it is marketed for (Hunting) but i would like to have a spot to rest my thumb when shooting. Not a big deal for most people i imagine. Has the MLOK rail. I will test that out down the road when i get a bipod on it. Overall build seems good.
Barrel- it is carbon fiber, comes with a muzzle break. for an out of the box break it reduced the recoil a bit. I shoot suppressed and the direct threaded can shot sub MOA and felt like a 556 round.
I will be running a NF NX8 on it and will update how that goes once i get it in the mail.
Overall, the gun shot great. i was worried it would jump or kick since it is so light but honestly it shot great suppressed. overall it was just under 8lbs with everything but a bipod. currently box Hornaday's ELDX shot great. next time i am out i will check velocity to see how it is doing out of a 20" barrel. Only thing i found odd was there is a level in the rail, not going to lie it seems like a waste. not easy to see and if i wanted a level i would add one that is more precise.
If you have any question or want me to check something out before you buy a 3k gun let me know.
Cheers
