BarHunter, I had a feeling the answers would be the guns owned.  The way I test for "slick running" is to work the action while holding it against my shoulder as if hunting. That puts a torque on the bolt, at least in my case, and really separates the slick from the binders quickly. My Weatherby needs no Moly-slide to function "slick" but the others do. So they get a little lube on them.

Slick is nice, A cheap old ugly Savage works for me. I like predictable function down range, first. Admitting I been soured years ago by a 77 that I thought was smooth, but didn't hold a group. ![[Linked Image]](http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l109/crowvalleyforge/20130901_125641.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l109/crowvalleyforge/20130901_125628.jpg)

This may sound weird, but I've owned several tang-safety Ruger 77's that were very slick-running, including the 7mm-08 on hand right now.

My tikka T3 in .270 is the smoothest bolt I have ever run. The only thing close was a M700 that had the bolt NP3'd.

Push feed Winchester Model 70s have been the slickest bolts I have worked. Slicker than the control feeds I have owned, for whatever reason.

Sauer model 90. My dad and I have consecutive serial numbered 7mm Rem Mags, both shoot amazing and are the smoothest I've ever felt.

Although I have both CF and PF Model 70's, the PF's are hard to beat.
My smoothest is a hand honed .458 that was electroless nickel plated. It is as smooth as roller bearings on glass.

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

The Tikka T3, 1898 Krag, and push feed Model 70's are the slickest actions I have ever encountered.
