Picture a testing lab with a machine to test the strength and rigidity of these two frames without the barrels or butt stock mounted. One end of the machine clamps onto the knuckle at the front end of the action from the water table down to the bottom of the action, the other end of the machine clamps onto the both sides of the action at the rear. The machine then twists the frame. Assuming both frames utilize the same exact makeup and tensile strength, which frame, in your opinion, will offer the most rigidity, strength and resistence to bending, the top frame without the through lump or the bottom frame with the through lump?
