Initial impressions range report.
The action is slick and cool. Though I occasionally find myself pulling a dead trigger because it hasn't loaded itself like all the rest of my 10/22. :/
The trigger is... amazing. More a button than a trigger.
Factory barrel would not extract reliably. Though I do think there may have been some operator error. After a thorough cleaning, and a little more time, I got better. Once I swapped to the Feddersen barrel, it has cycled 100%. Only malfunctions were fully operator induced.
Head spacing seems to have gone easily enough. PWS said a 004 feeler gauge should have slight positive pressure between bolt face and barrel. Nailed it on the second try. Changing barrels did require heat on the receiver and freezing the barrel.
I slapped the pws barrel on my daughters 10/22, nearly slipped in. Needed a whack with the mallet. Ripped off ten trouble free rounds. That's positive. It may have found a new home. It sure looks sharp.
Real accuracy test on the summit action will have to wait a week or two. I had a loaner scope, and loaner can on it. But some informal plinking was promising. Plus, the weather was awful. Rain, wind, mud.
So we mostly stuck to the 450 and 600 yard line and tried to connect with some 66% Idpa steel. When the wind is inconsistent, the extra hundred grains of bullet you get with a 308 is a real gain over a 223.
Can was a new rebel suppressor sos-22. Cheap, light and effective at killing muzzle report. We noticed it seemed to hurt accuracy. And had AT LEAST 3 end cap strikes over 3 rifles and a few hundred rounds fired. Interesting idea, but I'm not sure on the execution. No obvious baffle strikes. Perhaps the end cap was poorly done?
