    For a bolt action weapon it seems a damn daft idea. The bolt seems to far back.

    Can you provide more details about the weapon as I can't find anything of use on the web except the same picture? It would be interesting to read reports on the trials and why it was rejected.

    The bolt is too far back on the rifle.:agree:

    Yes it would.:agree:
