Since getting into the bolt action world, my semi's haven't seen as much trigger time as once before but I can see the appeal of this particular configuration. I tend to like things on the heavy side (only in my rifle builds...) as it aids in recoil management. Talking about large calibers here. My current 338 build weighs in at 26 lbs loaded and ready to go with 5 rounds. It doesn't get carried too far while hunting but then again, with the Lapua round, you shouldn't have to. Having the lighter weight weapon with the feed rate of a semi could be both fun and expensive in a rather short period of time. One would surely need to spend more hours at the reloading bench.
