[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 2084280, member: 101859"] I assume the action is a Borden. The difference is, do you prefer a smooth closing cycle or a lighter bolt lift? To achieve a neutral hand off/no cock on close the cocking ramp must be steeper which causes a slight increase in bolt lift. That is, if the action is design correctly, which a Borden is. Some actions will eliminate cock on close and keep a shallow ramp. You end up with short firing pin fall (loss of accuracy) or really short closing cams (smooth cycling suffers). Personally I can not stand cock on close and simply will not own an action that has it. Its my own personal opinion that cock on close is an unfinished product from a gunsmith, who is ultimately responsible for the finished product. [/QUOTE]
