I bought a used Win 70 in 06 with a bolt that must have been worked thousands of time. It was as smooth as i've ever felt.

You really need to try a Colt Sauer before you really know slick...

A Browning A-Bolt. (Flame suit on!)

I only own one, all my other bolt actions are Winchesters, weatherbys or Rugers. But every time I work the action on the a-bolt I'm impressed with how smooth and positive it feels. If only they'd do something about the funky finish.

I've got a Sako 591 7mm-08 that if blindfolded and handed the rifle, you couldn't tell if you cycled the bolt dry or fed one out of the magazine. Slickest I've ever tried.

Have always wanted one so bad, never spent the money on it.

I keep looking though from time to time, dang they ain't getting cheaper, but IIRC in the 80s when I was in a gun shop they were not cheap either... talked to a local guy thats getting older, that has 3, nope won't part with any of em....

Interesting takes... I have run an Abolt, and thought it was horrible compared to any of my 700s.

I have a couple of MK5s, and think they are crap too compared to others.

Colt holds it as the best I've personally ever cycled.

It is a 22-250 and this weekend is going to be hell for prairie dogs. I put a Swarovski Z-5 3.4-18X44 scope on it. I bore sighted it and shot to get on paper. The first shot was low left, I adjusted it too far higher and right and you can see the second shot. I then cut the adjustment back by 1/2 and the third shot speaks for itself.

People may badmouth Swarovski Scopes and not have anything good to say about a Colt Sauer, but this is as near a lazer as I have in my rifle safe. I couldn't miss a gopher with it anywhere from 60 yards to 335...

Always been impressed with the glassy, oily-slick smoothness of a Mannlicher Schoenauer.They put a lot of machine and hand work into those

The cams on a pre 64 M70 contribute to rapid, smooth bolt movement. One reason they were a favorite for match shooting. Broken in, they work really well on a hunting rifle, too.

I thought the EdBrown actions were very well made and extremely smooth.




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
