Is it comfortable to shoot left?

Yup. I shot the 9.3x? version 2 summers ago at their open house. Lovely rifle. The guy told me not to use the set trigger for a standing shot. The regular trigger felt like a set trigger on any other gun...

Fortunately I have absolutely no use for this rifle :)
 
so let me get this straight, it's not a pump, and it's not a semi-auto, this is a new cutting edge inertia driven semi-auto pump action repeating rifle?? way cool, now if it had a lever on it I'd buy 2 of them.........My K-80 is flawless as well, and it misses things as good as any other shotgun I have fired lol
 
I'm not buying the short sight radius idea though, just look at their double rifle - it has about 20 inches. Of course it's irrelevant if your blasting at moose 50 yards away, or have a scope on it. Way out of my pay grade anyway, so I'll stop worrying about it! :D

I never had a short radius sight rifle, but had air rifles... I actually think they are faster and more comfortable as you see both rear and front sight in focus.

In Europe open sights are mainly used for wild boar hunting when animal is pushed towards the hunter and there is a very small and quick window of opportunity (cut lines, thick bush, etc). You shoot as if you're shooting a hare with a shotgun. That is why Europeans have those fancy and extremely expensive (and unnecessary in my mind) quick detach scope mounts on their rifles...

It's a pull-apart action

I think JMB designed something similar (trombone action?)

It uses an ar15 style bolt head and if I recall the bolt stays fixed with respect to the receiver and you pull the barrel away from it

It's a fascinating action.
 
looks very interesting, well built.
I guess you are limited to certain style of shooting for an action like that: shooting prone? bipod or rest?
