Worth a look, I’m a convert.
Plus they can be really accurate if you can master the trigger pull. 1st round hits on the 300m gong with. 1-6 scope if you know your drops.

its a rotary activated bolt. the lever mech actuates planetary gear which engae teeth on the lower of the bolt.
if you ever dissemble one first rule is dont!
but if you need to, magnetise the planetary gears and lever assembly to keep everything inline then demagnetise the receiver once assembled
