Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

Mine is a custom on a Santa Barbara action with a synthetic stock. No cross bolts, but they would look "right" on a wood stocked rifle. (Wonder if you can get nylon cross bolts for your synthetic stock? )

Wooden handled one does and synthetic handled one doesn't.
Anyone who claims the 30-06 is ineffective has either not tried one, or is unwittingly commenting on their own marksmanship Phil Shoemaker Alaska Master guide FAA Master pilot NRA Benefactor www.grizzlyskinsofalaska.com

Originally posted by 500grains: With proper bedding and inletting, cross bolts are not needed until you get into the 458 class. But they still look cool.
My CZ550 FS has two. I don't know if they are needed or not, but they do look cool!

I sold my 9.3 x 62 with two cross bolts to mrlexma because he thought they looked cool. My stretch model 9.3 x 62 (a 9.3 x 66 Sako) does not have cross bolts. My under construction 9.3 x 62 won't have cross bolts, but it will have a drop box magazine (the better to cull with).

Mine is a factory CZ, has two crossbolts. They may not be needed, but I would have them if I were building a rifle, as they certainly don't hurt a thing.

Neither of my 9,3x62's have them. A Dakota 96, or my Pre-64 Custom. IMHO sometimes they look right and sometimes they interrupt the flow of nice wood. It just depends.....................DJ

No X-Bolts, modified B&C synthetic for a L/H Zastava action. Works & shoots like a charm!
I guess I could glue a coupla bolts heads into each side of the stock in the action area to get the desired "cool" effect if it's decided we all need X-Bolts on a 9.3x62.....
