Best Bolt Action Rifles 2025 [#1 Rifle Is Banned in 3 Countries?!]

[@reb1050]

I've never been one to take the advice of others when it comes to choosing a rifle. I look at cost, reliability, and accuracy I need to do the job for which I am buying the rifle. All these may be better than my two primary whitetail deer hunting rifles. But I am happy with both. One is the Winchester Model 70 Featherweight (30-06) which I ended up giving to my son. I bought it back in the early 80's and it's never failed to put meat on the table. The other I bought about 10 yrs. ago. It's the Ruger Gunsight Scout (.308) Both are still capable of 1-1/12 inch groups at 100 yds. and have ever experienced a malfunction. That's good enough for me.

[@mikemadden2870]

Love all my Win model 70’s (4). All shot 1” groups, out of the box with factory ammo

[@Yoda052]

I recently purchased a Bergara B-14 Stoke in 300 Blackout when I couldn’t find a Ruger American locally. With either factory ammo or my reloads, this rifle is amazingly accurate, easily shooting 1/2 MOA groups at 100 yards. I’m planning to put a better scope on it (only have 1-4x LVPO on it now) to see just what it will do. For an inexpensive, entry level rifle designed for “young” or female shooters, this Bergara is amazing. I see a custom Woox stock in its future.

[@ghunt09]

Misses: Ruger Gen 2, Savage 110, Tikka, Sako, Weatherby Vanguard, Mauser 18. Sako being the one with the higher price tag.

[@joestriker2100]

Tikka and Sako should have definately been on the list.

[@Hafsa-k3h]

Great content🔥 Was always a fan of bergara

[@mervanibraimi1667]

Browning X-Bolt 2 🔥🔥🔥

[@jamesdelong6401]

Good morning. Nice list. I still got my eye on Savage tactical 110 24-inch model.

[@waroark1]

Wow, no mention of Sako! Did they go out of business in 2025?

[@thepiedpiper-i7x]

Really? For one, as an 62 yr old veteran gunmaker, who also has been extensively involved in carbon-wrapped & carbon-sleeve tensioned brl production nearly 3 decades ago, I can honestly state that your IT-Bot claim is one big ‘BS’ statement on that subject of carbon-wrapped or brl’s dissipating heat quicker then conventional steel brl’s! Their rate of wear & tear is about double of that of conventional brl’s; especially for those range shooters amongst us, who either lack the discipline or the technical knowledge and usually ‘hotrod’ their carbon-wrapped brl’s without most of them even realizing it! I can’t even recount how many I’ve witnessed destroying their rifles during their first range sessions! Fact: for general hunting & the odd range use: a properly deep (preferably acme)-fluted # 4-5 brl will kick ass with most of these carbon-wrapped/tensioned brl’s as in both long-livety and accuracy! Unless I missed it: an even bigger joke is leaving out the best NR1 out of the box rifle deal, which has the lowest amount of problems: the mighty Tikka T3/T3X/T1 in this, what is obviously an mfg’ers sponsored ‘best 10 bolt-action rifles selection’ upload! As a final: you left out the bulk of superior quality West-EU bolt-actions, beside the Spanish Bergara, so your claims are baseless & useless; nough said!

[@jamesduncan145]

I like most of your choices and have several of them. I would have pulled the Savage or Ruger and since you had some high end guns, would have chosen the Sako or maybe the Tikka.

[@Kievitzi]

Wheres Sako and Tikka?

[@AllAboutSurvival]

One of these rifles almost made me spill my coffee. Can you guess which one? ☕💥"

[@NishanE-nm8mm]

It have to be weatherby👌

[@jamesdelong6401]

Well! I imagine if you could. You add all these to your collection.

[@rebel1749]

Putting a muzzle break on a 22 defeats the purpose. A threaded barrel yes but not a muzzle break.

[@ghunt09]

It was a picture of a different rifle. I know, makes no since.

[@pete1735]

Weatherby is my choice just my opinion I love mine

[@ghunt09]

Sorry, but it seems like someone pulled rifle names out of a hat. Your list is all over the map. Rimfire (with the wrong picture by the way), precision rifles, regular bolt action rifles. What is the standard of your list? Best, based on what? Some really good rifles on the list but what are your picks based on?

[@rogersiples3335]

You left out Tikka rifles.

[@kitdatson1902]

A thought for sure I would see the Sig Cross on this list...

[@squirrellordsgaming2772]

I’ve got my heart set on a mossberg MVP scout. What do you guys think about that one?

[@jcb86-a]

I looked at it, but it was sloppy to me. I went Ruger Gunsite Scout.

[@jcb86-a]

The MVP certainly had value, though. It’s been a while since I did my comparisons, but I believe that one could use standard ar-10 mags which was nice for compatibility. All depends on your preference and how you intend to use it. Suppressed with subs, it’s quieter than my pellet rifle. 🥷

[@squirrellordsgaming2772]

@ good to know, thanks.

[@fisherus]

You'll be needing open heart surgery within the first year after buying it!

[@squirrellordsgaming2772]

@@fisherus I don’t get the joke you’re making.

[@necummins8696]

Nah, Now my .338 Lapua magnum with a OSS T.I Suppressor FCP-HS topped off with a SH4 6-24×50 Arken pushing a 240 grain titanium tipped Underwood ammo. Now that is a bolt action..

[@ryhtkj6681]

Yes , and which 3 countries are any of these rifles banned in?

[@charliekorabek3846]

Vatican City? 😂

[@davidpopovic9019]

Price would have been nice

[@lancerxx68]

They say the #1 rifle is banned in 3 countries but fail to mention which ones. Odd.

[@jeffhays1968]

I came here to say the exact thing.

[@Reallifenewz]

It’s the 22lr shown first. No idea why lol

[@TorArneHegna]

Probably because 338 LM is banned, not the rifle construction itself. No idea which countries it might be.

[@fisherus]

Russia, Bulgaria, and Lithuania.

[@keithprinn720]

no tikka, sauer, sako, mauser or CVA total US bs.

[@hatake-kakashi7489]

Still a lackluster review… don’t click here.

[@ninjaxpanda4070]

"silencer" really... how about suppressor... as there is no "silence" to a 30-06.

[@wesleyrich2665]

What about Mesa arms or Fierce or even Guns of the West Christensen Arms Q Arms why just the cheapest junk reviews.

[@hakimcameldriver]

WHAT COUNTRIES ???

[@AlbertColes-y3q]

No room in my safe for most of your pics...OLD.ABB

[@xxiwickedixx4302]

Taurus? Really? How much did they pay you? Lol

[@edgarsdzerins]

Sako 100 (even any Sako for that matter) is much better than most in this list! Also Sauer and Mauser are much better than US rifles! Or you should change the title - the best US bolt action rifles.

[@billmartin5709]

TIKKA... NUFF SAID

[@dannyalexander2241]

2 great rifles…..3 that are decent on a budget…. One that is somewhat questionable…. And the others are straight up 🗑️

[@Andrew-gl3up]

I can’t help but wonder how much money Taurus paid to have you put one of their terrible firearms in the video. Between a Weatherby and Benelli nonetheless. I do not trust your judgment and will not consume your content.

[@randlecarr3257]

😂

[@marktwain2053]

So you also watch a lot of CNN?

[@lenculpepper9150]

😂🐴💩

[@hawk61731]

Just because you’re a bad shot. Don’t blame Taurus.

[@danieloxendine4753]

😂😂😂

[@jeffbadger462]

It is a suppressor.

[@kirkhemmings8234]

Perfect.I love everything.I love your videos so much.I love my gun so much.I will do anything for my gun beautiful

[@AllAboutSurvival]

Glad you're enjoying the videos!

[@marktweet7395]

Why are these guns bolt action?
