Again all else being equal, you should have more leverage for extraction with two lugs than any higher number of lugs.
"all else being equal" is the problem, and I guess you've never handled a Savage!

Love the precision, love the price, but I’ve felt chain booms which ran smoother than Savage bolts.
chubby bolts maybe?“Fat” bolts? Is that some lame new slang?
Sorry, but I think the description of the number of lugs is quite sufficient. No offense meant if you picked the term up from someone and thought it was a common descriptor.
If they were called “voluptuous bolts” or “smokin’ hot easy bolts” perhaps I could get on board with those.

I've managed to adjust my firing pin tension well enough that my Savage is only like...twice as bad as my Abolt.......... and the heaviest bolt lift of any current production rifle I've ever owned, used or handled.
Same here, my Hall actioned Benchrest gun had a full diameter bolt, very smooth action.I've not heard the term "fat bolt" before but do use the common term "full diameter bolt".

Absolutely!(But for sure some actions are better than others)
