With proper bedding and inletting, cross bolts are not needed until you get into the 458 class. But they still look cool.

This is the correct answer.


Okie John

I have a synthetic stock on my 9.3

I now have two 9.3x62mm rifles, but the rules won't let me vote twice!

One, a CZ 550, has double cross bolts. The other, a Steyr-Mannlicher SBS 96, does not.

FWIW, I agree with 500grains that cross bolts aren't needed for this caliber, and I also agree with him that they still look cool.

CZ fullstock factory - two crossbolts.

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? )

No cross bolts, but bedded in "steel bed". Custom FN Mauser with Shilen barrel.

Wooden handled one does and synthetic handled one doesn't.

My CZ550 FS has two. I don't know if they are needed or not, but they do look cool!

I have four custom rifles in 9.3x62 and none have or need crossbolts.

CZ 550 American has them, synthetic stocked SHR 970 does not.

CZ 550 has them, M70 with black plastic factory stock does not.

Both my Blaser and Husquvarna 9.3 have no cross bolts but if I have a new stock made up for the Husky I would for sure.

I have a Sako 75 and a Tikka M65 , neither has cross bolts .

I have an older Husky and it has a crossbolt.

CZ 550 American with two factory cross bolts. Works GREAT!!!

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).

LD

I have an Antonio Zoli and it does not have a cross bolt, but is glass bedded and has a free floating barrel. Doesn't look cool but shoots very well.

Factory CZ 550 Lux with cros bolts for and aft the mag box.

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.

Never made one I have installed bolts on, but they are of course properly bedded.

LD isn't kidding and it's a 0.5 MOA rifle.

And the cross bolts do look cool, but contrary to what Fernando used to say, it's more important to shoot marvelous than to look marvelous.

I have a 9.3x62 Husky that I restocked - no cross bolts but...... I think they look cool too.

I didn't know how to install them so I glass bedded it and inlayed fake crossbolts in wood matching the tip & cap.

Custom Ruger, properly bedded, no cross bolts. Done nicely they can be attractive and in a say 416, next project, probably a good idea.

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

Mine is a custom on a Mk X action in a synthetic stock. No cross bolts. Very accurate. Kudude

Yes, CZ550 American, factory double cross bolts.

Yes. Factory CZ 550 FS...

No, Sauer 202 Stutzen, 2 piece stock.

cz 550 lux. 2 bolts

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.....
