3rd for Mannlicher-Schoenauer. Had a 6.5x54 carbine for a while. Never seen an action that was even close to that smooth and slick.

The two smoothest I've had were a Saurer 202 in 25/06 and a Krico in .223.

My Krico 222 is pretty darn smooth.

Used a push-feed Model 70 in NRA High Power competition, with rapid fire strings. It was pretty doggone slick.
Very impressed with a good old .30-40 Krag too... Wow...
SMLE is pretty incredible. Hard to stay with, using other actions.

I've got a few Krags that are smooth in operation. One of the better modern modern rifles I have is an Mauser in 300 weatherby that has 3 large lugs and an huge fat bolt design. I bought it in the early 90's and in this country they are pretty rare.
I believe the action is by Voere. It an step above our commercial American bolt rifles.

Of those in my possession the best is an early 90's Winchester M70 Custom Super Grade (controlled feed) in 7 Rem. Mag.

Yes sir! I have two model 90's and have never seen another action smoother than they are. Mike

I have an Ed Brown .300 WM and Pre-64's. I'll have to agree with Ringman, my MkV is slicker/faster than either of those. I have an older CZ 550 with butter knife handle. It's an unusual model, I haven't seen another quite like it. It was used when I traded for it and is super slick. Check out the bolt handle positions, almost like a 60* throw, not a 90*. I can cycle this one really fast. BTW, it's a 7x57.

You really need to try a Colt Sauer before you really know slick... ![[Linked Image]](http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee202/bridgershooters/rifles/image_20.jpg) While it has been a long time since I handles one, I would have to agree with this statement.

I'll agree with the Colt Sauer. Not that big a deal for me, I have no problem with a Ruger, Mauser, M70, etc. Slickest one I've owned personally was a Mannlicher/Schoenauer

A well worn Wby MkV is definitely smooth. Regardless of what you may think of plastic, the Tikka T3s are pretty dang slick as well.
