IdahoElk.. I got off the phone with my best friend who lives about 10 miles from my Gunsmith. He told me the gunsmith had a Christensen arms non shooter sitting on his bench. As far as the smith could tell it had to be the barrel.


The strongest action out there would be a Remington ,Weatherby MKV or a Ruger and probably not in that order. Although looking at my Vanguard with its machined forged reciever I can't see that blowing up or allowing much gas to get to the shooters face.

Im not arguing with you because I honestly dont know, but I was handed a gun that had a beautiful stock, and had something on the barrel about 7.68 patriot??? And it said Lazzeroni on the barrel. Also the guy told me it was one?? But it had a Savage bolt in it. I dunno, I just know the guy isnt one to b.s. about stuff like that.

oh it had a real short case, kinda reminded me of a 300 wsm but even fatter and stubbier

Not arguing at all ..maybe Lazzeroni chambered and assembled their rifles as well. Like I said before not sure a lot of them were sold

yeah, maybe we're both right, heck I dont know!!!!

I have the same thoughts as BC. There are reasons why a 3 lug is
better than 2 lugs.

OH my goodness, I am on the floor here Mossy. Your too funny. Savage. Boy what will you think of next.

For varmint rifles I like Remington actions. For hunting I like the winchester actions with the three position safety.
Which is strongest?
This is purely an opinion....no data to back it up...the strongest action is a toss up between Remington 700 and Savage bolt actions. However the use of any bolt action made since the 1950s is likely to be as strong as you wish.....The brass case is the weak link in the system and stronger isn't much help when you're dealing with a meltdown case.
However the CRF actions are far more likely to let go in such an event where as the push feeds will hold in the meltdown. The action will be welded together but you likely won't have a face full of gas and molten brass.
Even the M98 Mauser of 1898 will hold a case up until the meltdown stage. Same for the Japanese Arisaka, 1917 Enfield and the '03 Springfield.

Good explaination Vap.

Thank you everyone, like I said this was just to satisfy my own curiosity.

you wanna fight??? I know where you live......keep makin fun of me! I think I cant take ya!!! Ill give you a T-town butt whoopin! And yes I said Savage actions on Lazzeroni's....do you know any different??? Have you ever owned/shot one??? And what do you have against Savages anyway? you dont even own one!!
