Overview
Built for shooters who want a short-action right-hand receiver with a 0.473" bolt head and a 20 MOA rail, this Archimedes action is centered on efficient cycling and straightforward cartridge extraction. Its pivoting bolt handle is designed to provide mechanical advantage when dealing with stubborn cases, while the 75 degrees of bolt rotation is dedicated to cocking rather than extraction. That makes it a practical foundation for a rifle setup where smooth operation and tool-free case removal matter, especially for users who value a more deliberate, mechanically focused action.
