Can anybody comment on the force on the bolt lift on a Bighorn? Since its a cross between a 700 and Savage is it easier like a 700 or a little harder like a Savage?

They have a M700 type striker and cocking cam with a Savage type baffle and bolt head. So the rear is M700 with the front being Savage.
The Bighorn is by far the smoothest action I own. My Remington SPS Tactical AAC-SD doesn't even come close. The Remington takes substantially more effort to lift the bolt handle on an empty chamber when compared to the Bighorn.
