I have the synthetic version, right handed in 270. The action is indeed made like a tank. Mine has always fed and extracted flawlessly. With a decent handload it occasionally will put 3 shots into half moa.
You are right, the blueing is really good. On the synthetic version the barrel has a pressure point at the front of the stock.
These are cheap rifles even here in Australia, where not much else can be described as cheap.
