[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 892894, member: 1290"] I have found it to be a non issue. Both the bolt and action are cut on cnc equipment. Under the pressure of firing I believe the 9 lugs in 3 rows act essentially like a 3 lug Bat, Sako TRG, Browning A Bolt, TC Icon, Barnard. This is a much more stable arraignment than a 2 lug configuration. Ever sit on a two legged stool? They need addition support or you are going over. How about a 3 legged stool. ****, it is just naturally really stable. The stability of the tri-pod arraignment is undeniable.
