Please bear in mind that all my life I was an active, walking hunter. Heavy barrels, oversized stocks and such are things I've learned to avoid.
In the photo, the barrel looks not overly heavy, but it's surely larger than the three-contour I used on my .280 Ackley. The stock looks bulky, but I surely have absolutely NO PROBLEM with stippling.
Harris bipod? Heck yes, I'm willing to spend that ten ounces, any time.
The Picininny
rail? Again Yes, it makes scope mounting way more versatile.
The bolt release is really unique, so that might help someone identify the action.
The action shape and treatment reminds me of Defiance, but the bolt shroud is different and Defiance uses the captive recoil lug, like Stiller and Nesika. Maybe a Sturgeon with flats like the Defiance????
Eventually, we'll know, but you can sure as hell bet it isn't a Tikka ... and I LOVE Tikka.
