[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1614018, member: 2736"] Single shot bolt actions are definitely more ridge, but the magazine port Has very little effect when the bolt is locked in battery because everything is supported in front of the port. A single shot action does make feeding one round simpler, But with proper bedding the mag port has no effect on accuracy. The problem with single shot actions is their versatility (You are held to single feed only and are limited to their uses). Having a single shot action does not mean you can use hotter loads, because the effect of hotter loads, is damage to the bolt, action recoil surfaces and brass. Also if weight is an issue, single shot bolt actions are heavier. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
