I have spent weeks firing the SRS from 0900 to 1700 daily, mostly .338 LM and .308, with a few .300 WM and .243 thrown in.
You do have to re-learn how to manipulate the bolt, but once you adjust to the SRS's bolt using the open palm forward technique, it is actually easier for me to operate the bolt/rapid bolt manipulate, than a stard manual turn bolt action. The reason is that my hand lifts the bolt when it comes up naturally, and the 1st metacarpal can be used to bring the bolt back.
The triggers on the SRS are nothing like a bullpup trigger, and are quite nice. They are very light, with a very short travel. The guns went through the normal teething issues any new design will go through, and I think that evolution has brought out a lot of great features in the SRS-A1, which feels like a different rifle to me. Will be interesting to see what the debut at SHOT next week.
