60* or 90*, preference? One better than the other?

[QUOTE="TexasWestPointer, post: 2588845, member: 122952"] Oh my, I know a lot of people grew up on 90 degree bolts, get used to them, and shoot far better than me with them, but in my personal experience, once you experience a 70 degree Tikka bolt, or a 60 degree Browning X-Bolt or Sako bolt, you can't go back to a 90 degree bolt. I absolutely won't touch a 90 degree bolt now that I am used to the Tikka/Sako actions. For me, they are much quicker, require a better hand position, etc. Then, of course, I started hunting with the Blaser R8, and that's a straight pull. (The Sako/Tikka bolts are smoother though, so not convinced the Blaser is much faster yet., but I'm new to the system). [/QUOTE]
