Re: Fastest Bolt action??

xausa,
That's a terrific course to shoot. While I have never fired it with a bolt gun I have many times with an M1.
In 1956 at Ft Chaffee, Ark I fired the 200 yd stage in the prescribed time and shot a possible. Got a very nice engraved lighter from the General for the chore. I found you acheive a rhythm and things do indeed go fast. I have always believed that the recoil recovery time is the deciding factor in speed. My understanding has always been that the Lee Enfield has always been the speed shooting bolt gun to beat. I had a Heym straight pull in 35 Whelen carbine that while the bolt was fast the recovery time was not.
