Not knocking Barrett, or Melvin's action, but a fella could bed a Montucky and save money. Or rebarrel, if needed/desired, for the same or less monies? And, it seems that this rifle is NOT a NULA.

More options/brands/etc. is a good thing, but how does this action compare to a Montucky? What's this rifle bringing to the table, other than a more closed grip? Faster twist?

1. Extraction? Rem 700 or M16 style?

2. How robust is the bolt stop?

3. How does it handle stray gas (case rupture, or pierced primer)?

4. Is the bolt 1-pc? If not, how does the handle attach?
