[QUOTE="Edd, post: 1437400, member: 30592"] I was hoping the experts would reply to your question, but since they haven't, I'll give you my opinion on clearance. My opinion is based on the Model 700 style actions I've handled and the assumption they will be Cerakoted. The receiver bore should be the same diameter end to end. The bolt diameter from the front of the bolt handle cam surface to about .750 inch in front of that surface should be .003" smaller than the receiver bore. The bolt diameter directly behind the lugs, for a length of about .500" should be .003" smaller than the receiver bore. The bolt diameter between those two points and the area between the lugs should be .008" smaller than the receiver bore. [/QUOTE]
