rabbiter Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 ive got the A bolt 2 in .223,really like the rifle,i was selling it at one point,but after finding the right bullet that the rifle likes,im keeping it,its very light,a pleasure to shoot,it has a short bolt lift so I can use lower mounts to keep my scope lower to the action,some people don't like the mag feed but I find it easy and you get a spare mag with it and mount rail,i was gonna go for a t3,but very happy with the A bolt........

rabbiter Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 have you heard one bad word about the T3 , says a lot in my book exactly,but I haven't heard a bad word about the A bolt either that would put me off,other than some cant get away with the mag system,saying that,theyre bringing out the A bolt 3,which has the drop mag system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malkiserow Posted April 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 have you heard one bad word about the T3 , says a lot in my book One may be that the action has no gas vent so if a catastrophic event occurs, the shooter is more likely to get a facial injury. Some actions have a vent to the magazine which then blows off below the shooter. I've seen one such accident outcome (faulty factory and bad home loads are the cause) but some actions seem to be able to handle it a bit better. I read the A bolt has such a gas escape.

LARRO Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 I have a T3 and there is a tiny hole in the side wall just were the barrel starts. I presume that is the gas vent. Darran. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
