That may be the first time I've ever seen the Ruger action described as "smooth as glass". The ones I've owned, including the current one, haven't come close to being "smooth as glass". Rough as 60 grit sandpaper would be more accurate.

Nevertheless, quick cycling of thebolt is not a majorconcern of mine because of how and what I hunt.So, rough bolt or notI like Rugers. However, in my experience with them they are not typically as accurate as Tikkas. I was once embarrassed at the range by a guy (from Trinidad of all places) shooting a bone stock Tikka .300 Win mag with factory ammo. His groups were about half the size of what I was doing with my bedded Sako shooting meticulously prepared handloads. It was a humbling.
