[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1102589, member: 54178"] I have used 2-lug bolts for most of my life and found them perfectly good for my purposes, hunting and competition. But back in the late '90s I bought a Browning A-Bolt and became a supporter of 3-lug bolts. Recently I got a Ruger American Predator in 6.5 CM and it also has 3 lugs, one of the reasons I bought it, plus its good bedding block system and trigger. It shoots as well (sub MOA) as the BOSS enabled Browning and for a lot less $$. And soon I'll be selling the Predator and getting a Ruger Precision Rifle in 6.5 CM, which is based on the American action. TOP TWO REASONS I LIKE 3-LUG BOLTS: >The lower lift clears scopes better, especially when wearing insulated gloves. >the lower bolt lift means faster bolt cycling and that is nice for a fast follow up shot when hunting or under the gun of the timer's clock in competition. Yeah, I'll still keep my .300 Win. mag. Rem. actioned HS Precision competition gun for a while, at least until Ruger makes its RPR in .300 Win. mag. or .300 Norma mag. So are there any others out there that prefer 3-lug bolts? [/QUOTE]
