Bolt to raceway clearance, Kauger actions

[Kevin1990]

Just curious if anyone has ever actually measured bolt-to-raceway clearance on a Kauger BR action or has a verified number.

I asked Kauger a while back about the BRI/BRII/BRIII and they just said it’s the same across their competition actions, but didn’t give a number. I can’t find anything posted anywhere.

Thanks Fellas

I have a BRII that has .003" to .004" and a BRIII that has .006" to .007"

Both of those seem a little excessive.

Both of those seem a little excessive.

What is acceptable in your actions?

I agree.

For a BR/Target action? 1-2 thou

I don’t have measurements but can say the perceived fit and smoothness of my Kauger CRSII bolt is not much different than my Borden Moutaineer RR. Both are very nice IMO.

My Bat Neuvo Actions have between .001 and .002.

My two Farley Actions have .002.

Yes both my Bat Neuvos have .001" to .002" but the Kaugers cycle and open a little smoother.

wow, that seems excessive. May I ask how you measured? Makes me wonder if the vertical I sometimes see is related to the something other than my load and shooting.

I have some gauges made up from .701" to .707" in one thousandth increments.

Is the concern that it won’t be competitive?

I’m always amazed how smooth is thrown around with Tikka…I would use the sloppy adjective, but here we are.

Im amazed too
People must have come from using pretty uh, "Not smooth" actions to consider a Tikka Smooth
A friend has a Tikka Tac A1
My Rems are all, way the heck smoother, like silky smooth, albeit with a little slop
And after cycling and firing his Tikka, I dont even want to own one
I dont know what it would take to make it feel as smooth as a Rem
.
My Ruger American even felt better

Smooth is interchangeable with "I can cycle it quickly with my bear paw hammer hands"

I'd prefer tighter tolerances, over a "smoove" bolt manipulation, I also find it odd that I was told they are the same clearances with all their comp bolts, but someone got that large of a variation in measurement from a Kauger BRii and a BRiii.
