That is an excellent point and one that has not escaped my attention. I was recently inspecting one of my Sako 75's (since I made my original post, but before reading the one above) and contemplating how gas would be handled in the unlikelyevent of a case rupture. I really don't see any provisions for escaping gas. There are no ports in the bolt body or the front receiver ring. Also, the bolt shroud does not have a flange. Seems to me that escaping gas would blow right back into my face. Of course, I'm no engineer, so I don't know for sure, but it certainly concerns me. For my own peace of mind I'll have to make sureto keep my loads below max in the 75's.

Anybody else got any thoughts on this?
