[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1694910, member: 27307"] There is no reply in my In Box. The bolt is unique, sort of... It's a four lug bolt which positions the lugs at the rear of the action. This is less expensive and takes less time to manufacture than the actions which have the lugs at the front of the bolt. The drawback as some will note, is the potential of bolt flexure from bolt thrust because of the lugs being so far back from the bolt face. This can contribute to reduced accuracy. [IMG]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/dd/Niels_Larsen_1945.jpg[/IMG] Does this look familiar?;):D Of special note though is the fact that the Danes competed at the very top levels of shooting competitions with this design and their results belied the idea that the flexure was a drawback. From another source: [I]"Schultz & Larsen wanted to get a foothold in the US market and so they created a variant of the M54 which was called the M60. Around this time they were collaborating with American Phil Sharpe, the designer of the 7×61 Sharp & Hart cartridge. Phil Sharpe met with Neils Larsen and also worked with Swedish ammunition maker Norma to produce rifles and ammunition in his wildcat caliber. This indeed occurred and the 7×61 Sharpe & Hart enjoyed a brief season of popularity until Remington decided to create something slightly better, the 7mm Remington Magnum, and their Model 700 rifles that were significantly cheaper than the Schultz & Larsen. The result was that both the M60 and the 7×61 Sharpe & Hart fell into obscurity." [/I] I have a Model 60 chambered for the 7x61 Sharpe and Hart in the hunting versions which is an extremely accurate rifle when fed my handloads.[I] [/I] [/QUOTE]
