The best sporting bolt Rifle

This photo says it all. it was fastest in many ways, speed of bullet in its day, speed to bolt, and deadly accurate, and the nicest feeling gun you will ever hold. and it was made in Canada.http://
The .280 Ross sporter

Hats off to the .280 Ross for sure.

 

[todbartell]

well I dont think any of them are perfect.

I like the 700s but would rather have a Model 70 safety on them.

The Belgian made Browning, also known as the FN Browning or Browning safari. Everything else is trying for second place. In my humble opinion.

 

[BC Bigbore]

Holland & Holland Royal Double I can always sell it and damn near retire too But my hands down favorite bolt action is the Winchester M70, preferably CRF models in the featherweight style.

SAVAGE!!!
Somebody was gonna say it!!!!!
Cdog.

 

[Win/64]

The Belgian made Browning, also known as the FN Browning or Browning safari. Everything else is trying for second place. In my humble opinion.

Or maybe an FN Husqvarna.

For looks: Model 70 Featherweight.
For everything else: CZ550.
For me: Anything that shoots straight.

 

[BIGREDD]

Factory Made... I would have to go with the Sako as well.
I gonna say NO BRAINER... just because I know it will get some hackles up!

 

[John Y Cannuck]

No Brainer... well, that's leaving yourself wide open

 

[Dustin]

I liked the Winchester Model 54, though I prefer ####-on-close (doesn't really leave me any choice for current production). Current Production: My fav is the Mark V

 

[Win/64]

No Brainer... well, that's leaving yourself wide open

Nicely done.
