    From that rather grainy photo of the bolt was it an actual gas cut or a sooty ring that has not actually cut into the metal?

    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!

    It probably isn't from a function and safety point of view, it would be to me from an aesthetic and rifle aspect though!

    Exactly.

    Exactly. I've seen many bolt faces that had a sooty ring on them and that weren't etched. A lot of shooters don't clean their bolt faces and probably never will.

    The retailers that reckon X-Bolt rifles are prone to having etched bolt faces sounds like pure BS to me though.
