[QUOTE="Schnyd112, post: 1331224, member: 90453"] there is definitely something to the added torque of a long bolt handle. I took the tactical knob of last night and aside from smashing my fingers, it didn't hardly chatter at all. There just isn't much to hold onto. I am also looking at 3 lug actions for the future. I grew up on 700's, but The win 70 and sako actions have a full length lug that keeps the bolt supported through the entire stroke, smooth like butta. It looks like the tikka has more support through the entire stroke as well. Savage is great until you break the safety or firing pin or bolt handle or bolt head retaining pin and render the thing useless. [/QUOTE]
