Default RE: Sako75 or Wby accumark

The Sako has a 3 lug bolt and the Weatherby's bolt has9 lugs. The simpler 3 lug bolt is preferable in my opinion.
I'd agree. From what I understand, it's pretty hard to getall 9 lugs to bear evenly when the bolt is closed which can have a negativeeffect on accuracy. The 3-lug system provides, IMO, the bestcombination bolt throw, strength and precision. More than 3 lugs adds unnecessary complexity, IMO.

And for me, given the choice between the two, I'd takethe Sako 75without a second thought.
