My favorite rifles are not bolt actions, but I will list them anyway.  Since I am primarily a whitetail hunter these are perfect:
Savage 99 in 300 Savage
Marlin 336 in 35 Rem

Mine is a 1903 Springfield, 30-06.  It has the original barrel, stamped 4/30, which is pitted like the lunar surface.  It shots fine, though.  The stock is quite slim, and I like its shape more than anything else I have.  The action is very smooth.  The whole rifle feels like Made in USA quality.  I killed my biggest whitetail ever this year with the 1903 and round nose 180's.

7mm-08 remington model 7 laminated stock, stainless 24 inch shilen match grade barrel, featherweight contour, cryo treated, trued bolt, trued action, glass bedded, smithed model 7 trigger, 4.5 x 14 x 50 leupold with target knobs,  leupold quick detach mounts, and shoots 150 grain nosler ballistic tips into 3/8" 3 shot groups fed from the magazine as quick as you can get on target and pull the trigger.  I have killed 5 deer with this gun and they have taken a combined total of zero steps after being hit! The closest shot was 15 yards and the longest shot ......wait for it...... 175 yards.  (you thought i was gonna say 827 yards didn't ya  :D)

I also have a 6x leupold mil dot target scope if a hbr event ever happens less than a gazillion miles from north carolina.

If I had to pick just one, to hunt anything from javalina to moose, it would be my Savage 110 in .270 Win with Bushnell Elite 3200 3-9 X 40 scope.  130gr Winchester Silvertips (not Balllistic silvertips) for everything up to mule deer, and 150gr Hornady Interbonds for everything else.

Actually I have 2!
For moose I use my .375X284 98 with a McGowen Barrel in a fully Glassbedded stock and a 2 1/2 Weaver and it shoots 300Grain Win Silvertip. (I bought all the 300 Silvertip from all the gunshops I could visit when Win discontinued to sell them)

For everything else I use a Swede Milsurp 6.5X55 Carbine with a full Manlicher Thumbhole stock I build. (I still have to finish the checkering I started but got too anxious to shoot it!! SWEET Tackdriver!)

For mcwoodduck My Sako L61R is serial# 60xxx (5 digits) in .375H&H.

Well, based on what I take out of the gun safe and actually hunt with, it is a stainless synthetic Weatherby Vanguard in .270 WCF. It shoots flat and holds steadier than my lighter rifles. I handload for it and it groups nicely with RL 22 and 130 gr. Hornady interlocks. It is butt ugly but it takes bad weather and rough handling without complaints. What I like best is the Bang! Flop! ratio.

Mine is a Ruger MKII Stainless 7mm Mag that has extensive work done to it in fact the only reason I don't call it a custom rifle is that it still has the stock barrel. I have not replaced the barrel because it shoot to well to mess with it.

My favorite started off as a blown up Rem. Mod 700 in 30-06. I got the barrel sawed to 16 in. and had it put in a 788 stock. I've killed 51 deer with it.
I've got a Dr. Optics 3x9 on it. I shoot Federal Vital Shok 165 gr. Sierra Game King.

Several years ago, a buddy of mine nicknamed my sporterized 8x57 Persian carbine, "your best girl".  She's my go to rifle and we've been dating over 44years. Dependable. Steady. Honest. The proof is in the freezer! And does she get jealous when I want to take out one of the other rifles! WHOOOOEEE!
