I’m thinking the Ruger American is a 70 degree action, not a 60 degree.

 

[TacticalPlinker]

On the subject of bolt throw. The Cadex R7 @ 50 degrees as expected has a heavier bolt lift than I prefer. But like everything else, dry fire remedies the issue mostly. Definitely using my thumb for mechanical leverage during the initial "sweep".

I didn't buy this for competition, but mostly for long range steel and hogs. So it works for my needs. It is very smooth after the initial lift.

Badger M2008/2013

I said I stole part of that list from another forum. I didn’t say I fact checked it

 

[Jerry D]

Terminus is actually 54 degrees I read, probably the same as Curtis.

Either way 50-70 makes a big difference compared to 90s and I’d be happy with anything in the range

 

[Tokay444]

Anything with three, or more, lugs?

No.

 

[Tokay444]

Op is looking for less than 60°.

Weatherby uses 3 columns of miniature lugs.

Cadex uses 4 lugs.

 

[CerebralDistortion]

No.

Weatherby uses 3 columns of miniature lugs.

Cadex uses 4 lugs.

Sorry. Don't think I was clear enough.

3 or more interspaced lugs (am I using the correct term?).

Full rotation/Lugs/Throw
2 lugs - 90 (360/2/2) though Tikka has a 70? Degree bolt lift.
3 lugs - 60 (360/3/2)
4 lugs - 45 (360/4/2)
And so on...

The Weatherby would then by this definition be a "3 lug" system despite that it has six (or nine) individual physical protrusion.

Not trying to be right, just re(de)fining my question.

 

[BLKWLFK9]

Are you compiling a list for the intent of picking one to purchase?

I’m telling you no, just because an action has 3 lugs, does not automatically mean it has a 60° bolt throw, as you’re stating. That simply is not the case.

 

[iceng]

Isn't the mausingfield by ARC a 74deg, when it's a 2 lug "traditional" design ?

Engineering is a hell of a thing.

Tikka is too.

 

[Tokay444]

And the Archimedes is a 3 lug 75°.

 

[BLKWLFK9]

And the Archimedes is a 3 lug 75°.

Archimedes and nuke are.

 

[Tokay444]

Archimedes and nuke are.

The 2.0 looks to be 72°, but I thought I remember the 1.0 being closer to 60°. I could be wrong.

 

[CerebralDistortion]

I’m telling you no, just because an action has 3 lugs, does not automatically mean it has a 60° bolt through, as you’re stating. That simply is not the case.

I'm not stating, I'm asking...

 

[Tokay444]

I'm not stating, I'm asking...

The answer is still no.

 

[CerebralDistortion]

The answer is still no.

Why?

 

[spife7980]

Why?

Because they don’t have to be perfectly divisible even increments.
