I can't see a good reason to not cross-bolt a wood-stocked .458/lott/.460

My Whitworth has been bolted with two cross-bolts, bedded with devcon steel, and it is ultra stable and accurate.

The operation is a one-time cheap insurance policy and the bolt heads can be capped flush with ebony plugs for a smooth-handling and durable external finish.
That's what I did with mine, there's nothing in the way of my hands and I don't have to think about stock splits.

Synthetic stocks don't have the same issue with splitting that wood stocks have, and I can't imagine a good answer as to why someone (anyone) wouldn't cross-bolt a .460Wby

Cheers
