Glad to see this thread. I have been waiting for these to come out.....not sure if any of you have other previous ridgeline models and can draw any comparisons as far as smoothness of bolt, etc.....but I have a Ridgeline Titanium and the bolt lift on it (dry firing or after a live round) is also alot heavier than my previous standard Ridgeline.
Am trying to decide which caliber to get this FFT in for a stone sheep hunt next year. I have brass and all reloading components for 6.5C, 308, 7-08, 270, 7 RM, and 300 Win....so likely will choose one of those
