[QUOTE="Dzaw, post: 143992, member: 7794"] [b]machining nightmares[/b] Good questions. As I pointed out the real disadvantages are on the production side. With some of the rediculous lengths people have gone to in the past to achive a marginal increase in performance, this just seemed to me to be an idea long since overdue. With the minute and precise capabilities of modern CNC and EDM machining, and a bit of out of the box thinking, I really feel that there's an idea to be had here. Maybe the time for it hasn't come yet, bit it will. Heck, even if you have to come in at the back end and create a modified machine not unlike what is used for single point cut rifling, the recesses for locking lugs could be cut in from behind if you have a full body bolt diameter like the weatherby actions. Yes, there are a thousand problems, big and little that make the idea wholly impractical. Of course, they said the very same thing about repeating rifles about a year before they became the only thing to own... While I'm at it, instead of integral rail or dovetail for mounting scope rings, skip the mount entirely, and make the bottom half of the rings integral! One more mechanical joint eliminated. One more tolerance meeting tolerance stack removed from the equasion! [/QUOTE]
