You know, the greater movement required to get out of the way of the bolt on a 30-06 is more due to inadequate trigger pull distances on commercial rifles. Recently I measured a number of my vintage military bolt actions. The straight grip 03 was 12.5 inches, M1910 Chilean, was 13 inches. Surprisingly the M96 was 14 inches. These are the distances for WW1 rifles and 13 inch trigger pulls are common on modern stocks. People have grown longer and it is my opinion, stock lengths are too short.
After a decade of shooting small bore prone, with its adjustable stocks, I have come to the conclusion I want a 14 inch to 14 1/4 inch trigger pull. When I made this rifle, I ordered a stock with a 14 inch trigger pull, and working the bolt does not require me to roll the rifle around, because the bolt won't hit me in the eye.

I added one half inch spacer to make this 1950's rifle have a 14.0 inch pull

added spacers to this buttstock to make it 14 inches

These spacers are wood salvaged from pallets! I know the MKIV buttstock looks horrible and unfinished, but it is functional. As Quinn Moore said "Do you want to shoot your rifle or make love to it?"
With a longer trigger pull, me being further from the bolt, any difference in speed to rack a bolt, either long action or short, is inconsequential.
All depends on your anatomy. I've got high cheek bones and relatively short arms despite being 6'1. On a long action, my bolt hand smacks me in the cheek, on a short, it just clears. Any longer LOP is too long for me.
