Their great rifles. Mine is getting STUGed right now but their fantastic. Big meaty bolts with either 6 or 9 locking lugs and touted as being the strongest production bolt action made. Roy Weatherby the founder actually found that when he was wildcatting with his now standard Weatherby magnums that the actions of the day just weren't up to the pressures, he used Brevex actions and FN Mausers( I stand to be corrected) for this purpose. He basically went and designed to strongest bolt action he could for his rounds and thus the Mark V was born.
They have a short bolt lift of only like 54 degrees(around that) and in general are very well put together. They just haven't gained the popularity of the likes of similar priced rifles for reasons I can't explain. If you do buy it I don't think you'll be disappointed.
Also STUG does Carbon fibre stocks for them if you feel like going down that path.
I hope this helps you out
