I bought one in 7 Mag(26" barrel) and though I haven't had much time to work on load development but it has shot five Nosler 175's into an inch at 125 yds more than once. It think the advertised weight is around 7 1/2 lbs but it feels MUCH lighter and handier than you would think even with the long barrel.
The bolt works smoothly and doesn't drag on the magazine follower and I really like the externally adjustable X-Mark trigger.
There is a slight barrel gap but I don't know how they could have inletted a fluted barrel and not leave at least some gap. I'd be curious to know how much the weight is reduced by the flutes.
