What kind of features are important to you in a bolt action rifle? Of course it should be accurate and reliable, but how do you feel about the myriad ways a rifle might be engineered?
Do you like controlled round feed or push feed?
Do you like a safety that locks the bolt?
Do you care how many lugs the bolt has or whether they're at the front or rear?
What kind of magazine do you like; blind, or removable?
Do you care for a hinged floorplate?
Where do you like the safety; on the bolt shroud, the tang, to the side of the action, etc.?
What style bolt handle do you prefer?
Does it matter if the rear bridge is split or solid?
Are there any other design features you care about, not listed?
It seems that good rifles have been made with every imaginable combination of features, but what seems most right to you?
