turbo v3 converion

[prowler]

Had anyone done the conversion on the v3 turbo. If so did it help with the bolt lift. Thanks

I haven't personally, but Tony Harper has real world experience with the modifications. He posts here occasionally, and I am pretty sure if he sees your thread title, he will chime in.
I have a V3 that was purchased before the mods came out and have no complaints about the bolt lift, but that action was smoothed out by Jeff Paterson when he did the build.

I have a V3 that Tony Harper built. He added the bolt modification that is now standard on the newer V3's.
You might do a search; he had a couple threads about this work a couple of years ago.
I have no complaints/issues with the bolt lift.

prowler, Don is correct and I did the search, but it's on Benchrest Central. March of 2023 he opened a thread on that board about the (then) new modification kit from DiOrio. I will send Jeff's contact info via PM, assuming you haven't got already.

Really appreciate it.

If not mistaken, I believe it boiled down to modest angle change on cocking ramp, good polish on same, lighter spring.
I’d bet a fair improvement just with either lighter spring or removing a couple coils, something you can do without going nuts….little $, and tough to screw up.
Since I have a Penrod 10X 3 the spring deal helps to the point you hardly notice between a 2 or 3 but mine also has the Wilkinson bolt collar in 4140 that has improved ramps as well.

The above tells a good story about 3-lug actions. I have had two Stiller Tridents, and the one Turbo V3. If I could go back in time I would have bought a V1 instead of the V3. I still would have had Patterson do the build though. There is no performance advantage to the 3-lug actions.
