I don't understand why some of the vise's have 4 bolts. Because of the short cylinder length on many barrels, the 2 bolts that are away from the action wouldn't be doing any clamping. Unless the bushing was fitted to the contour of the barrel. Then clamping there would squirt the barrel out of the vise. Does anyone who has 4 bolts use all 4? Or, just the 2 next to the action?


I either make a tapered bushing and use all four bolts for stubborn barrels like 1917's or make a stepped bushing for mausers. For new barrels 2 works just fine.
