I'm biased towards a 90 degree bolt throw. Of all the rifles that were less, the Weatherby Mark V felt fine and the X and Abolts were the worst. The 280 Xbolt went down the road for this reason after a very short tenure in my safe.

And to drop a squirt of piss in the truck argument, I've owned a truck from every manufacturer at one time or another except Nissan and Honda(if that thing they sell qualifies). I loved them all, but the one with the least hassle and the most where it matters is the Tundra sitting in my driveway, which has SHAMED all the others.
