This action is designed as a two-lug system that features a separate floating bolt head to ensure contact with the lug abutments in the action.  It also features a cone-shaped bolt nose for smooth feeding of the cartridge, and a spring-loaded sliding plate extractor located in the front of the lower locking lug. The one-piece bolt body is stainless steel with a pad at the rear to accept the threaded-in bolt handle. The bolt shroud and bolt stop are fully Nitrided for extreme durability, as well as its self-lubricating properties. The bolt handle is finished in Cerakote for protection. The two-position safety is part of the trigger assembly, which in the Ridgeback rifle is a TriggerTech trigger with Frictionless Release Technology. This combination allows the bolt handle not to lock in the closed position and allows the rifle to be unloaded while in the safe position.
