One thing that held me back was a 2 position safety - that doesn't lock the bolt. I have a rifle like that and the bolt handle gets caught on 'stuff' and will come open. A rather inconvenient feature.
I agree, a two position safety that doesn't lock the bolt on a hunting rifle (especially one set up to be a lightweight hiking rig) is a bummer. It's an interesting rifle otherwise. I really like how they did the 18"threaded barrels, little weight but with a bell at the end for a proper 5/8x24 thread.
