I fell for it again. The headline of The 5 Best Bolt Action Rifles caught me and I thought "here we go again with stuff that is new and nothing that I will see in a store anywhere close to where I live." Wrong. I have four of the five rifles in the article and can vouch for their accuracy and suitability for what I what and need. Please tell how these are or are not good choices.
Enjoy!

I like the only con they with Weatherby, as they may be hard to find.

Can’t argue with the Mark V or Model 70 as I have several of each.

I’m on the fence with Bergara. I don’t own one, but I have handled several at Scheels. It didn’t entice me enough to purchase one.

If I were to own only one, MK V every time.

Agreed with the Winchester M70 a close 2nd.
