Another BOSS A-bolt here. I got it when I was considering the frame for an ersatz scout rifle before the Styer came out. The 120 degree bolt was the attraction, for speed.

The bolt mechanism proved too stiff for Cooper-style super-rapid operation. That might be improved with some additional work, but cocking has to occur in a shorter space, so there is a limit to it. The accuracy and weight are reasonable. The rubberized bedding in the synthetic stock seems to work as intended. The trigger is just fine.
