I'd have to agree about positioning the bolt handle one "click" forward of perpendicular, decisive bolt handling and lots of dry firing can yield noticeable improvement. Now, I had a conversation with the gentleman at Desh Ind., who does the bolt lift kits and firing pin bushings and he seemed quite eager to get an Impulse bolt to play with. I think that's what this rifle needs, some tinkerers who understand the basics bring their expertise to bear. Kind of exciting.
