You need to just shut up and take notes. I've learned a ton on this thread:

-90 degree bolt lift is a huge problem requiring re-engineering of the "standard" bolt action. Mauser was a putz, in other words. And everyone who copied him.

-Winchester never made a push feed action

-Ruger American is a custom rifle maker

-No custom rifle makers use their own actions.


I'm going to get lunch, but I expect there'll be even more heretofore unbeknownst facts here when I get back.



A wise man is frequently humbled.
