[QUOTE="Sako7STW, post: 752029, member: 2112"] The Dr. hit the nail on the head. Honestly, the ONLY reason why the Mark V is on my list and that I haven't already went and bought the .338 RUM is the bolt. On my son's Savage his bolt hits the butler creek caps and pinches his fingers. The same happens on my daughters Rem 700 .243. I dont have this problem with my tri-lug Sako as it too has the short bolt lift. I love it. My Dad and my bro both shoot Mark V's, one a .257 B, and the other a .300 B. and they are such fine rifles. I just wish the .340 had the RUM's performance. So really what my decision is boiling down to is 60 deg bolt that I love and ok laminate stock or Blackhawk stock that I really want and the performance I want but crappy bolt. There is a big difference between a wan't and a love. Yes, there is a padded room with a nameplate that reads my name on it, I have had to visit it often over this!! [/QUOTE]
