What are your favoritt rifles/actions, in regars to the common cartridge sizes..

Mini : 22lr
Small : 221, 222, 223 based
Medium : 308 based
Large : 30-06 based
Magnum : 375H&H ++ based

My thoughts:

Mini : CZ 453 / BRNO #1
Small : Sako L461
Medium : Sako L579
Large : BRNO ZG-47
Magnum : BRNO 602


My choices are based on: intregral mounts, integral recoil lugs, one piece bolts, nice workmanship, good triggers, built for purpose not price..


Now, I carfully tiptoed around the fact that there are few in between action sizes here. Please list them if you belive they belong there!



Maybe I will learn something new in this post.


"Best" is very subjective... Of course we all know that. Here's how I roll:

Mini: 22 LR/ Ruger 10-22
Intermediate Rimfire: Ruger 77/22 or Ruger American 22 magnum
Small centerfire: .223 rem. Ruger Hawkeye
Medium centerfire: Pre 64 Winchester model 70 270 fwt.
Large centerfire: 9.3x62mm CZ 550 American
Magnum: Pre 64 model 70 338 Alaskan or 375 H&H
