Here's an even money bet, they guy that invented the shorter bolt left so he wouldn't miss on game and can now mount a scope with a 56mm objective wears these too...
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.
