Question on A-bolt II bolts

I really like the a-bolt II rifles I have seen, but the bolt-within-a-sleeve setup really perplexes me. It appears that it is difficult to take apart for a thorough cleaning and possibly somewhat fragile with so many different parts. I also noticed that the extractor is really tiny.

Can you a-bolt owners or former owners advise your experience with these rifles? I am considering one in a 300wsm. Would a model 70 be a more reliable rifle for hard hunting (elk in Colorado in all kinds of weather)?

Thanks.
