I have used the handle type on several 98 K's,Ruger 77's, and Win. 70's. I have personally never seen or known of a bolt down type action wrench. Would this type of action wrench not lock the action down rigid necessitating the need to use a break over bar as I do on the bbl. nut wrench only in reverse with the bbl. vise? I am trying to visualize it and this is my thought on this particular method. I notice that you too are a fan of Parker Otto (AKA P.O. Ackley)! ;D

Its only for those "snug" factory installs. The rest of the time it hides under the workbench.
Afterward for swaps....

Bill, that is a pretty thrifty little set up. Is that a torque wrench of some sort you have installed in the action? Like the old saying goes, there is definatly more ways than one to skin a cat!
