Safari bolt gun upgrades. Pre64 m70

1/4 rib on a bolt gun. Worth it? Who sells and installs them?
Cross bolts in a wood stock.
I have a pretty custom walnut stock. No cross bolts. Any need for concern? 375HH

What caliber? concerning cross bolts

 

[62flint]

Oh, sorry 375HH

I would recommend cross bolts for a 375 and up.

Have multiple 375 no cross bolts, never had a problem. I/4 ribs done right are great, but I don’t think they carry as well as a island rear.

I think the cross bolts issue really depends on how much you shoot it and on how hot a loads you use. I only have 1 rifle with them my 550 CZ FS in 9.3x62 so not speaking from experience.

A good gunsmith can install internal cross bolts if you feel the need external cross bolts look great properly installed.I like quarter ribs properly done but as said above it doesn't carry quite as well in hand.
