[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 3061184, member: 68875"] If you like the Atlas Tac, the Prometheus is just as smooth, but has added stiffness in the action with the full Picatinny rail milled in and the offside is fully enclosed. I think a long bolt handle adds to binding. Putting leverage out away from the bolt body does not lend to smooth bolt manipulation and induces side loading onto the bolt. As for other actions, I think a lot of them are very smooth. I have a couple Defiance Deviants (GALA GA Hunter and SA Deviant Tactical) that are very smooth. If the new owner would not have raised prices by 50%, I would be more inclined to own a few others. I have a couple Lone Peak Fuzions. Both SA TIs. One is very smooth. The other has felt like the bolt lugs drag in the action when you are opening or closing the bolt. Not the backwards motion, but the up and down to lock/unlock. It is fully nitrided and has done it since new. With two different bolts. I have shot a few other Fuzion and Razor TIs that felt the same. This is why I went away from TI actions and just get lightened steel actions now (Nanook and AnTi X). The steel actions do not have this issue at all. I have shot quite a few 60° bolt throw actions, and I just can't get used to them. I am sure if I owned some, it would not be a big deal. If you want lighterweight, the Nanook is the way to go. Smoother than the Defiance AnTi X. [/QUOTE]
