    which bolt action type do you prefer?

    which bolt action type do you prefer? I don't know why but it seems to me that I like the mosin bolt action a little better than the mausers action simply because it seems more rugged? what do you guy's think?

      Personally I like the K31 Swiss. Which isn't on the list. But between the ones on the list. I really like my K98 Bolt VS my Lee Enfield and Mosin Nagant.

        Swedish. It doesn't get any better than that - in my humble opinion.

              Gota go with the Mauser. Soooo smooth.
              A Mosin is fun if you like using a brick to function the bolt !

                    Or the "Product Improved" Mauser, the 1903 Springfield. Smoother yet.

                      The Krag bolt is very smooth, the Arisaka is the strongest, the Mauser has the best combination of smoothness and strength, the Mosin is fine if you have a mallet handy and never want to engage/disengage the safety.
                      Revolvers are not pistols

                      pistol nouna handgun whose chamber is integral with the barrel
                      Calling a revolver a "pistol" is like calling a magazine a "clip", calling a shotgun a rifle, or a calling a man a woman.

                        For turn-bolts, I find the Enfield the most fun, but for overall functionality in field conditions I'd have to go with a Mauser.

                          Are Enfields cock-on-opening? I know Mausers are. I prefer this over any cock-on-closing bolt action. Since I've never owned an Enfield, I'll vote Mauser.
                          No government deprives its citizens of rights without asserting that its actions are "reasonable" and "necessary" for high-sounding reasons such as "public safety."
                          A right that can be regulated is no right at all, only a temporary privilege dependent upon the good will of the very government
                          officials that such right is designed to constrain.

                            My Mosin, only becuase thats the only bolt action i have used on the list. My Mosin bolt is actually really smooth. I first took it all apart and boiled all the cosmoline off, then gave it some oil. Then I sort of "tuned" up the operation of the bolt. Even before i tuned it up i still never needed to use excessive force or a mallet to open the bolt. My first time shooting it, i shot 30 rounds no problem. Iraqveteran8888 on Youtube has a nice 3 part video on how to smooth up the operation of the bolt.

                              Most, if not all, are not.

                              Not all Mausers cock on open.
