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

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. Big Grin

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? Confused )

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 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).

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.

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.

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. thumb

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

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.....

Big Grin


Cheers,
