I am curious--does anyone know of anyone who has rigorously tested and compared the speed of bolt actions of various makes of rifles?? Guess if I had to choose theoretically the Blaser push-pull action might be the fastest on paper. I dunno--

Personally,I just cant get used to the thought of shooting a Blaser bolt with nothing but a circular metal spring device keeping me from losing the side of my face or suddenly meeting God due to a defective bolt mechanism.

I will not debate whether the Double is the faster with f/u shots vs a bolt-- a Double should beat even a fast bolt handily.BUt by how much?? Anyone have more info?
Whether it could beat a bolt by the same margin if a large bore caliber with major recoil were compared would be an interesting experiment.If anything it mightr stack the deck MORE in favor of the Double.
