Pretty cool! I get my bolt action 338 Lapua back to me here in a week or two from the smith! I'll be dying for a while saving up to buy another Steiner Military or Schmidt and bender PM2, but I'll at least be able to run it with a cheaper scope for a while.
What gets me wondering on these semi auto rifles like this is how much performance is lost out of that round out of a semi auto. It take us a tiny bit of energy blowing back the bolt dispensing the empty brass, unlike a bolt gun where the round is locked in and full power is blown forward. I've always wondered the same about a regular AR too about what is lost due to the operating system.. Just food for thought for me, not that I cant sleep at night, just always wondered haha.
