[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1001204, member: 2736"] In my opinion a one piece bolt is easier to blue print because there are no moving parts that have to have some clearance to operate. With that said, There are lots of multiple piece bolts that shoot great if set up correctly. I blue print "ALL" of the actions I deal with because they all need some truing no mater who makes them. I subscribe to the philosophy that less is more in most cases, and easier to trouble shoot if there is a problem. I feel that the barrel is the heart of an accurate rifle but all other components can have a major impact on the rifles overall performance. If I were to build an action from scratch. It would be similar to a 700 rem. the 700 rem action is the most copied action made for a good reason. Most hand made bench rest action are based on the 700 Rem action with the owners personal likes added. (I love the Sako bolt release when installed on a 700 Rem. I agree with dkhunt14 that the lugs need to be as close to the case head as possible for the best performance on high powered rifles/cartridges. Just my opinions and likes J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
