Will add:

Barrett - no experience; but I would be suspect until they are well proven and well vetted.

Mountain Ascent - no experience; but do have experience w/ Montana. Based on that, the word "finicky" comes to mind.

NULA - yes to experience; though in the end, I've reached the conclusion they are just not my cup of tea, they are good rifles. However, Melven can get rather opinionated, and at times come across like course grit sandpaper. But if a NULA works for you, they are well proven.

Lastly, if willing to go up a bit in weight, this would open the door for more production choices.
