Might be acquiring one in a trade this weekend. Seen a few reviews of it and it sounds like a great rifle. Wondering if anyone has any hands on experience with it and what your thoughts were.

One of the local guys has/had one ... said it's accurate, but that it's possible (at least on his) to close the bolt early and not chamber a round - somehow the bolt can be pushed down even if it's not fully returned to battery, which has caused him to miss a few shots. He's now considering swapping out for a T1X.

Might be worth checking out in person if you're thinking of picking one up.
