Great gun technically, but could be better handling/aesthetics/operation
A great gun technically, mechanically and in metal finish, but reminds me of early VW's which had a clunky operation, lack of styling and handling not great. Why have so many options but no traditional walnut stock or hand checkering, why no Stutzen stock? Why not work on lightening it using aluminium alloy and other tough quality materials and lightening the bulbous stock? The loading could have been made easier and there are other mechanisms invested by BSA which could never crush fingers.
I like it a lot, but could have loved it.
Pros:
Powerful, accurate, consistent, low recoil, very well engineered, lovely metal finish, stock fits large male hands
Cons:
Handles like HW35, like lead! Slight people struggle with lever. Lever button could be faster. Loading a little fiddly. No Walnut stocks or hand checkering.
