[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 2078951, member: 38048"] A perfectly timed action that has zero cock on close is a joy to shoot and run fast. Most target actions are timed close to this. Most factory actions have some cock on close. Nothing wrong with either as long as you have sufficient firing pin fall. I would ask your smith if he has a sample of both on hand in a stock and feel them side by side. On a hunting rifle it wouldn’t bother me either way but on target actions it’s an advantage because closing the bolt doesn’t torque the rifle. In a hunting situation I doubt it would ever be an issue. No cock on close is my choice. shep [/QUOTE]
