Nah it operates just like any other bolt action once you re used to it and you dont need to lift your head or elbow.. I have used bullpups for years and prefer them so a std rifle feels more foreign to me.. I often go looking for the bolt too far back

Have a quick search on youtube to see them in action.
I will have it in the field this week for hopefully some soft target tests and plan to do some video work so will make a point to demonstrate this.

Heres a newbie behind one being about as clumsy as any newbie gets..
