[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1346170, member: 70559"] Interesting MBird brought up Savage. Earlier this year I went to Sportsman Warehouse to get a new rifle. I tried about everything on the shelf. The way I test a rifle is shoulder it, dryfire it so the bolt has to cock the firing pin to work the bolt again, and quickly push the bolt back in to battery. The only two that had actions that weren't sticky on the way back into battery were the Savage 10 and the Tikka T3x lite. On yea, I almost forgot the Weatherby Mark V six lug action also went in as easily as it came out. [B]All[/B] the expensive rifles, including the Weatherby Mark V nine lug were sticky when worked from the shoulder. Maybe it's just the way I hold a rifle or work the bolt, but that's the way they work for me. When I had a Pierce titanium action rifle built it was the same way. I called the company and was instructed to "choke up on the bolt" like a baseball batter does when the bat is too long. As soon as the season was over I disassembled that rifle and sold the parts.
