I've owned one since 2011, chambered in 9.3 x 62. I can't add anything that's not already been said in its favor, but mine is the T3 with a dark blue finish on the metal, and a black polymer stock. It weighed less than 7 lbs out of the box and shoots the 286 Nos. Part into less than MOA at over 2600 fps, and the 250 Nos. AccuBond into .440" at just over 2700 fps. The propellant is RL-17 for those handloads, and RL-15 for the lighter 232 Oryx which shoots five into MOA. The 320 Woodleigh makes well over 2400 fps and shoots into the same group as the 232 Oryx at about 2450fps.

It's the smoothest bolt-action I've ever owned, and the trigger has never been adjusted. With a 3 - 9 x 40 scope and 3 cartridges in the clip and 1 in the chamber, it comes in at 7.7 lbs. Apart from a lot of bench testing, it has taken 3 bears with one shot each -- the first with a 286 Hornady at a little over 2400 fps, the second with a 286 Nos. Part at a little over 2600fps and the last employing the 250 AccuBond at about 2715 fps.
