So this one's been puzzling me for some time. Why is it that the vast majority of bolt actions are configured as cock on open? There are only two bolt actions that I can think of that are cock on close; the Enfield and one of the earlier Mausers. The Enfields that I've played with were exceedingly easy to operate which I think has a bit to do with the leverage associated with bringing the hands together to cock the rifle. I'm hoping that the collective wisdom here could shed some light on this matter since there's just got to be a reason.
Thanks in advance!
