I also have a laminate t-bolt .22 had it almost a year now and I'm very happy with my choice. it has served me well. Nice, light and easy to handle. Good to look at. The bolt has loosened nicely with use. I find it to fit me well compared to its competition. My only two faults would be the heavy trigger wich I have become somewhat use to,(may try what's been suggested above to make it lighter) and the plastic buttpad would of being nice in rubber. And if I was to really nit pic a metal trigger blade would of felt abit more quality.
