Gary, does a full diameter bolt force the feeding ramp or magazine to be situated lower in the action? and wouldn't that cause the round to enter the chamber at a steeper angle?
so if it were the same "full diameter" as the Remington bolt head (about.950) that would very much be the case, but Pristine made the bolt just a little larger than the Remington bolt body (about .75) so there doesn't seem to be a really steep feeding angle from the mag, probably another reason for the six lug design because if it were only two there would be much less bearing surface than a Remington pattern action :)
way cool
please keep us posted as the build progresses
Thanks Gary for sharing about the action from my sponsor. Chassis looks amazing once I get the barrel on I will post a video of it!
Did I see an internal collar in side the action that the barrel will seat against?

Are you sure it's a 90 ° action and not a 70 ° ?
It's indeed a 90 degree. The only 70-degree two-lug action is Tikka T3.
