I got the chance to shoot one last weekend. Amazing. I've shot the Serbu bfg 50A, Barrett 99, and AI 50. The Lynx is in a category of it's own. Recoil is so mild it feels like it's in constant recoil. Not counting the massive blast, it's probably not any more jarring than a 308 even when fired from the shoulder (and actually can be due to the low and balanced weight). The long recoil action is sweet to watch and feel cycling, and the machining is the finest I've seen on a modern gun. Given it's not gas operated I'd be curious to tear one apart after 20-30 rounds and see how dirty they get. Pricey, but worth the money IMO. Probably one of the coolest NR rifles available. M2 is another grail gun I want to get my hands on...
