[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 791206, member: 1290"] Is that one lug touching with or without the trigger? With the trigger the top lug should not be touching at all. The bolt is about 4" long. The bolt raceway has .007"-.010" radial clearance. When cocked it is jammed tight to the top hinging the bolt by the bottom lug leaving the upper lug about .002" short of resting on the seat. When the sear is released the brass in the chamber will push the bolt back and both lugs will be engaged. Of the things that affect accuracy in your rifle this is the very last thing to address. Crown, bedding, trigger quality, optics and mounts, rifle fit for consistant cheekweld, barrel quality, appropriate load and lastly action truing is my order of importance. [/QUOTE]
