there's no game situation where it would make a difference. The fussyism's of this site don't generally translate into any kind of real-world difference.


Sorry for wasting your time with such a question.

I'll let everyone get back to whether a spiral or straight fluted bolt is better for a hunting rifle. We should probably close the custom rifle threads too because custom rifles have no material benefit over a quality factory rifle on hunting success.

Where I hunt in NY has very thick cover so shots are usually close and a deer has a real world chance of bolting at the sound of that safety.
