No mention of Anschutz? No remington 40x? This should have been called top 10 bolt guns,as we want to remember them…..others are better…..

I have a 1903a3 and my Anschutz 1710 will shoot groups 3x smaller….

Have to agree with Graham A Sperry – The Shultz & Larsen rifle should be at the top of the list -definitely. the best made bolt-action rifles on the planet. I have only 5 of them, but have had many over the years. And the 7X61 S&H is by far the best 7mm ever developed. GJK

Agree with support for British SMLE but over all I would say the Schultz and Larsen rifle from Model 54J, the M60, 65DL’s, M68DL’s etc through to the present day M97 and M97Classic DL’s , Victory;s etc are THE best rifles in the world. Many other manufacturers have used S&L ideas but in consistent over all quality and supreme accuracy from hunting through to target, these rifles must be better than any other factory produced quality weapon for sporting and recreational use. One of the most famous in the S&L line was the 7*61 Sharpe and Hart.

The Finnish M39 should be on that list if not near the top. Its tuff, has the best sight of just about any combat bolt action rifle and was still in use by the Finnish military in the 1970 and even today as a sniper rifle. not bad.

The 1903 though its a good gun its just a copy of the K98. So why is it even on the list. Sorta like listing a Mustan GT and a Mustang Snake in a list of top ten best sports cars. Even though I love my Stand it would not sit well with me to see both there like the K98 and 1903 are here.

A bit of a strange list to may way of thinking. Even considering that the Springfield was a Mauser derivative it is debateable whether it was better than the original, poor heat treating on the originals and 2 piece firing pin. Anyway the list must be consigned to the bin without recognising the Lee Enfield actions, the Moisin Nagant and if derivatives are to be included the Jap Arisaka, the strongest of the Mauser Pattern rifles.

Reaction: Yawn
Longer version: Waste of bandwidth in the original. Can not imagine what the criteria for selection were.

Winchester Model 70’s have probably won more High Power rifle matches than all other bolt action rifles combined!
