Bolt Timing
Just a note to expand on the timing issue. The bolt cam timing is also in direct proportion to the fit of the extractor. I've seen a number of Sako style extractors that have been installed with a vast amount of gap between the extractor claw and bolt face. The larger the gap, the more cam action that's lost. We sometimes try to make the world more perfect by holding such tight tolerances. The best action available needs to have at least a minimal tolerance as pointed out in Stan's thread.
