Who makes 3 lug actions?

Re: Who makes 3 lug actions?

AI actions
Sako TRG's
Tikka's (I think)
Badger M2008
Weatherby has a 60* throw, multiple row of lugs setup with 9 lugs setup like 3 lug actions do
The Texas Magnum I think is a 3 lug

RPA makes a 4 lug named the "QuadLock"

It functions like any other 60* throw action, just like the 9 lug (3 rows of 3) Weatherby Mk V.

TacStock: We're not dealing with a chair here. I don't think the BR guys with their Kelbly/Bat/etc actions tend to agree that a 3-lug is by definition more accurate. Hence my interest in the question.

does that badger action have a 1 piece bolt? is it a screwed in bold handle?

FlyDut
Three lugs are by their design will have three points of contact distributed at 120*.

Their downfall is the shortened helix to open - and for bag (benchrest) shooters this can be an issue

BTW Kelbly / Stolle are two lug actions (and are about 10 minutes from me)

1 piece bolt, bolt knob threads onto handle.
