I just tested a .300 Winchester Magnum Professional model extensively. It was very accurate, and functioned perfectly in every other way, including the controlled-round feeding. Weight with a 3-10x42 Nightforce SHV in NF rings (neither particularly light in weight) was 8 pounds 3 ounces; a lighter scope and mounts could drop that weight by up to a pound. The pillar bedding of the stock (the same basic model as Mark Bansner's very good High Tech synthetic) was excellent. MSRP is $1999, which includes an installed but easily removable muzzle brake, which is right in there with other semi-production rifles on the market today.
Had a couple talks with Mark, who readily admitted some start-up problems, but apparently the biggest problem they're having now is keeping up with demand.
How was the accuracy?
