Golden Eagle, but I can't remember who made them. This was many years ago though.

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.

I had a feeling the answers would be the guns owned.

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

You really need to try a Colt Sauer before you really know slick... That's NICE! What's she chambered in? 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.
