Coned Bolt Face?

[TEAMSENDIT]

I was wondering why we don't see more coned bolt faces. I have played with sako, tikka, and a rem with coned bolt face and they seem to feed noticably smoother. why is it that we don't see more of these?

thanks scott

I would think (for a factory rifle) that its not worth re-tooling.

For a magazine fed custom, still may not be worth it.

For a single shot BR gun with light neck tension, thats probably where the greatest benefit would be found.

Scott,
I actually have a prototype Model 911 action with a 30* coned bolt. I haven't finished the build yet, but I've worked a bit with the feeding and it feeds extremely well from an AICS mag. It is dual extract, mechanical eject.

Can't wait to see the specs on this!

I'm thinking I'll build a KUKRI on it with the Skunkworks BUIS....
