Cool rifle and nice review.
Very tempting. I would definitely get one if it were chrome-lined and offered with a shorter barrel (yes, I know, restricted).
I like that the ejection port has been reworked to deflect the brass to the side. The top ejection of the 858 always really, really bugged me when I had them. Did you experience any malfunctions or see any potential issues with ejection (or extraction, for that matter)?
