Swing actions?

Can anyone give me any info on Swing actions? Like is it a 3 lug or 2 ? whats the bolt lift in degrees is it 90 or 60?

Thanks
 
It's a 4-lug, at least the one that I had was. Been so long that I want to say it was very much like the Rem 700, just far harder because it had like a 50# spring on the firing pin.

This much I can tell you. It had a firing pin sound like no other rifle. When that thing dry-fired, you could hear it 50 feet away :) It didn't go "click", it went "DOINK".
 
Seen a few nice Swings on the firing line last weekend, they still have their devotee's, the Swing "ping" once heard rarely forgotten.

For specific questions try the thread below at Fullbore UK.

Hope this helps, sorry I can't answer the questions, I just shoot other peoples on occasion.
