Smoothest Action

[frozenbolt]

Hi everyone,
I was wondering which brand makes the smoothest bolt action?
Tikka has a nice smooth system. How do the others compare?
Thanks

of current models Ive seen, Tikka T3

Ive seen some Rem 700s from the 70s and 80s that were quite slick, but new ones arent as good

Sauer or Blaser in the new ones. Husqvarna in the older ones.

Sako 75........

Any high end bolt gun will have a slick well fitted and lapped in action

Which just about eliminates most current U.S./Japanese production

Don't know about that. Kimbers are awfully nice.

Anyone know anything slicker than a Krag action? Not exactly modern sporter but some smooth for a bolt gun.

Time spent, just like those high end 1911 pistols, slick at ####. Heck I got a mauser thats sweet, commercial mauser , but well put together. Those Browning's on mauser actions are cool also.

Another vote here for the Tikka T3. There have been a lot of posts in the pasts commenting on the Tikka actions.

"Smoothness" also depends on which case is being fed into the chamber. I have a Browning Safari in 300H&H that is pretty smooth. I doubt that a 7MMMag would be as smooth feeding in the same action.

I also have a Remington Custom Shop in 375H&H that is noticeably smoother than other Remingtons.

The Voere Titan II (also produced as the Mauser 99 and 200) is the slickest action. With the bolt open and back, tilt the rifle forward and pull the trigger. The bolt will slide closed and lock under its own weight. The play when the bolt is open is virtually zero.

The Mannlicher-Schoenauer M1903 is also very nice.

I hate you trade ya, your pick , stevens or 710 remmy

The bolt will slide closed and lock under its own weight. The play when the bolt is open is virtually zero. That's nothing. When you shoot a 1900 action Husqvarna the bolt comes up and ejects the shell automatically.

Tikka T3 action is really slick. So is SAKO.

How about the Lee Enfield. There is a reason why it was the fastest bolt action in the militry!

You are repeating yourself. I think we get the point.
