    these are the fortner actions there is no bolt its cycled by sliding the lever back and fourth on the slide , biathalon uses them exclusively
    much faster and there is no bolt to rotate

    Always loved watching guys shoot them. Looks smooth. I have two Anschutz a 54MS LH and an 1813 LH. Very rare to find a lefty. Good luck.What did it set you back?

    Probably due to the simple locking feature of the action.. it would be difficult to lock a larger caliber than 22LR in this manner...

    Re: anschutz 1827 fortner action pics!!!

    It would seem obvious that the locking feature for a powerful cartridge like a 308Win or similar would need a stronger more effective locking system than a .22LR. So as I suggested earlier..

    "<span style="font-style: italic">...Probably due to the <span style="text-decoration: underline">simple locking feature</span> of the action.. it would be difficult to lock a larger caliber than 22LR in this manner</span>"

    .... this is just a guess... I'd still like to understand how the Fortner action locks in battery.

    I did notice that the Biathlon shooters keep their thumb on the rear of the action.. So Bill when you shoot your rifle does that piece move?

    Is there some sort of "gear" that speeds up the bolt throw? Or is it similar to the browning T-bolts? That youtube video looks like the guy is barely moving the bolt and those empties are kicking way out.

    Nope

    The Fortner is based on a hinge, when in batery the hinge is locked in place.

    you flick the bolt lever back with a finger( unlocking the hinge) and push the bolt back in battery with your thumb. The bolt does not move unless you manipulate it.

    BTW, there's an article about some sort of CF straight pull in this months American Rifleman. It was donated to the Nat'l Firearms Museum with a hand written note from 1916 telling how the bolt blew back and opened up the shooter's face when he shot at a grizzly w/it.

    <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">STRENGTH? Invariably the question arises when discussing the SR30s unique locking bolt is one of strength. The SR30 is tested at the German Proof House in Suhl to 8,000 BAR, which is a little over 112,000 PSI.

    Unofficially, the SR30 has been tested by third-parties up to 10,700 BAR. In round numbers, that's a little in excess of 155,000 PSI. Yes, one-fifty--five-thousand PSI. The photos speak for themselves.</div></div>

    Wow... quoted that off the link.
