I found it interesting that the bolt rotates counterclockwise on the Ross, whereas my Remington 742 rotates the bolt clockwise when locking into battery.

That's because Ross was a heretical Scot who thought anything an Englishman did was effeminate and to be avoided. The poofy  Enfield rotated clockwise into battery. 

Ross was descended from men who fought naked in the dead of Winter, to avoid getting blood on their fine woolen kilts.

The Winchester Lee Navy bolt will hit you in the face if assembled incorrectly.  It will also do it, even when assembled correctly, if you over power the charge.
You need to test the bolt after assembly and not shoot hot loads.

I have never had any inkling of fear or concern when I shoot my 280 Ross. I do still check to make sure that the bolt head cams into the breech of the barrel even though I don't take my bolt apart. I think that the Ross design is brilliant. In fact, I just picked up a nice R-10 in .303 British recently. I'm looking forward to taking her to the range to see how she performs.

Here is a good one. $3,000 for a $20 book supposedly signed by John Wayne 13 years after he died!

Yikes,

I don't know what John Wayne's autograph is worth, but $3K seems quite high. FYI, per the seller's description, the autograph is written on a separate piece of paper that is taped to the first page of the book.

This video is a great piece of show-how. Well produced, geat pacing, understandable narrative, enough camera time on the mechanisms for the viewer to grasp what's being shown. I watched parts of it twice. A great thing about show-how videos. 

Steve, I think I actually understand enough about how the Ross action operates- after watching this video -- that I can now see just how slick a .280 Ross sporter would be!

[However, I passed on the Jackson Armory Mk IIII and bought another 99 EG - a 250.]

This is the best explanatory piece of information I have seen on the topic of the Ross bolt.  It hits all the points and at the end, you get to see a Ross fired with the bolt assembled incorrectly:

Awesome video and explanation!
