[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 90103, member: 10"] Buffalobob, The Rem 700 bolt does have a gas relief hole on the bottom of the bolt between the locking lugs. It has been proven time and again that safety lugs such as those on the Mauser 98s are basically useless unless they are fitted to bare evenly with the main bolt locking lugs. The reason is that once a bolt lug fails to this point and gains rearward momentum, no additional lugs will stop this motion unless they are fitted to bare and work with the main lugs. In my opinion, a floating lug on a Wby bolt is a waste of steel as it offers little to the strength of the receiver in my opinion. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
