My old Ruger 77 in .308 is really smooth; yeah it has had a few rounds through it, but very smooth. My CZ rifles are good, but the 527 needs to smooth out a bit more with age and use, whereas the 455 is one slick .22 action. My Howa mini is quite good and presumably will get better. Later model Rugers are pretty clunky as are Savages mostly too. My Savage 10 FCP, however, is quite smooth. Out of my limited experiences I would go with Howa as being best out of the box. I have never run a new Tikka, and the Weatherby Vanguard is a Howa with another name...
My experience with Rem 700 and Win 70 has been great with older rifles...newer stuff is not quite as good.
Focusing on Grendel bolts, I would say the Howa mini is best out of the box with CZ second place. Ruger American bolts are...clunky?
