Best Bolt Action Centerfire

[rangerruck]

i canot believe that cz isn't on top. I think most guys here maybe are thinking tactical, but dont forget field rifles/sporting. Cz's new UHR line is guaranteed moa out to 1000 yds! pretty impressive.

My Browning A-Bolt, hands down most accurate bolt action rifle I have fired right out of the box for $2000 or less. (okay, it helps that I spent almost as much on my Leoupold 6x-20x 40mm scope as on the rifle ).

accuracy, smoothness

I'm new to rifles and I just bought a Ruger lam/hb/ss/ target grey 223 bolt gun and it shoots better than I do, no big accomplishment. But the bolt sucks, it's grindy, not well machined, not quiet, does not feel good.

But my brother bought a Tikka 22-250 last weekend in sporter mode, blued barrel, synthetic stock. And this action was so smooth, I could not believe it. I had a chance to compete on paper at 25 yards, but I passed after sending ~40 down at 100 yards.

That tikka was more stamped the best targets. But he's the best shooter too. On that note. His pick was the Browning A-Bolt in ss/synth. But he's an Alaska resident, so he hunts in the worst weather ever (think Seattle rain, Barry Bonds style)

I'll go with his word, but the Tikka had a realllllllllllllly smooth bolt too.

Yet another fan for the Tikkas and Sakos. The best IMO untill you start spending 3K plus on a custom job.

Not to hijack, but what do CRF and PF mean?

Best BOLT in town !!!!!!!

I favor my Sako TRGS 30.06. Carbon steel. Very accurate. Removable magazine. Fiberglass backbone polyurethane stock. Good trigger. Excellant scope mounts. Hammer forged barrel. Action based on their sniper rifle. Not prohibitably expensive. Unfortunately, no longer offered (as far as I know).

I voted "Savage" because I think it comes the closest for "bang for the buck" (pun intended) of what is currently available.

Not to hijack, but what do CRF and PF mean

Controled round feed and push feed. Generally, Mausers and pre `64 type Winchesters are CRF. Remington and others are push feed although there are a few exceptions. Most, especially dangerous game, hunters prefer CRF as they feel it is a surer feed/extraction system.

I'm partial to Browning.

"Steyr Mannlicher-Schoenauer."
+1 (its all about speed of deployment, and ones ability to deploy anywhere, with a scout, in the time it takes to spot a target,... its down)

Mannlicher-Schönauer

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mannlicher-Schönauer

"In fact, this rifle is available in almost every modern caliber except the original 6.5 mm × 54 cartrige. "

 

[LAK]

Steyr's rifle touted as "a direct descendant" of the Mannlicher-Schoenauer, is a bolt-action, uses a rotary magazine, can have a full length "mannlicher" stock, and carries the name Steyr. There the similarity ends.

Examine both closely, handle and operate them, and these things are readily apparent.

You don't have the 98 Mauser??? How can this be?? Half the rifles on your list are based on its design.

 

[Fosbery]

Accuracy Intenation Arctic Warfare (or AW Magnum) would get my vote.

Sako used to have a 375 H&H that was a mauser actioned beauty. Now, have to go with Kimber to get what Winchester used to produce. Darn shame that Winchester was run into the ground by a combination of bean counters and unionistas....couldn't beat the Model 70 Classic...except for accuracy by the likes of Sako or Kimber...the 8400 Super America harks back to the good ol days of Winchester Super Grades...beautiful tools...

 

[351 WINCHESTER]

How about my 03 springfield or my no5 mk1?

 

[Grizzly Adams]

the one that fits you the best, has the best eye-appeal to you, and the one you have the most confidence in.

For me that Remington!

 

[missouri dave]

Don't know about the best but for the money the cz is dang hard to beat.

I like model 70s, but 2 MOA isn't hard to beat, even from a factory rifle....
