Just to add, one of the slickest actions, which are fairly rare (I am pleased to own one) is a standard lenght, small ring Browning FN Supreme. I purchased just the action in the 70s (I think), installed a Douglas premium barrel in 6mm 1 in 10 twist, set it in a Calif. French walnut stock from Herters. Hopefully it will stay in the familly. --- John303.
