Well as discussed in prior posts it is a push feed design magazine with double ejector pins in the bolt face. Ejection is claimed to be 90 degrees so as to not to interfere with low mounted scopes. I am one that believes the model 98 extractor cannot be improved upon, but I also own several Remington 700's and a Sauer 202 which have never failed to feed properly.
What I really like about the rifle,
Stock ergonomics
Light weight 6 3/4 lbs
Generous wood around the action and foreend
Staggered detachable magazine that holds a full 5 rounds (non magnum)
Drilled and tapped for Mauser 98 type scope bases
Very silky Smooth 60 degree bolt
Nice crisp 2 pound trigger
Winchester 70 type safety that works better than the Winchester 70 safety-quieter and stays in position better and smoother
Easy bolt disassembly (just push a pin and turn right for firing pin access)
Nicely done fine checkering on both pistol grip and foreend
Free floating barrel
Excellent quality of construction and fitment of wood to metal
Easy bolt removal-similar to a Winchester 70
Straight down bolt handle design directly over the trigger guard like a Model 98-not a swept back bolt handle like so many rifles today

What I am not so sure about but maybe can live with,
Push feed extraction design
