Cheek weld, I doubt it, it may just with some operators but the improved angle should help control. After market stocks with cheek pieces should work really well on this rifle.
My intent was that the hunter was going to be threaded and come with a slim brake, but exact production details are not finalised at this time and we can always change details due to cost and customer feed back.
With the factory fitted front sight on the barrel, my intent was to have a simple BUIS included on the rail that would give a 100 meter zero. I believe this is responsible for some of the delays.
Your other points are noted, but I have plans of my own for later models
