[QUOTE="Tactical Taz, post: 1483684, member: 101484"] I am running a Nucleus RH SA for competition. So far so good for me with a couple hundred dry fires and about 160 rounds of factory now. I really love mine. It is smooth and the bolt manipulation is light. I have had no extraction issues. The Nucleus is control round feed by Ted's definition which he put up on Snipershide where the bolt doesn't need to be rotated to capture a case in the extractor. I say this because the case doesn't snap under the extractor right out of the mag. I am fine with this and hasn't caused any problems. I note this because others have mentioned it on Snipershide. The bolt stop is a pretty neat idea and is very robust. If you are into the switch barrel thing, ARC's Barloc is pretty cool and you can get a Nucleus specific recoil lug for the barloc. The only issue I know of with the Nucleus is some people are getting light primer strikes. They shipped with a 16# spring but many people are switching to a 19# spring which mostly fixes their issues. Josh at PVA is shipping all of his John Hancock rifles out with the 19# spring. Ted may be switching current actions to have that spring. I have not had light primer strikes with factory ammo so far. So far I am happy and do not have any complaints. I will likely build a LA hunting rig off one next year. [/QUOTE]
