I think the M98 action the best, but FN stopped making good M98 actions in the 50's, and since then, it has been Winchester M70's for me. I prefer the controlled round feed, but the push feeds are good.

While the gas venting in a M70 is not as good as a M98, I learned to wear shooting glasses.

There are other actions, but the M70 is the smoothest and slickest in my opinion. The modern FN made M70's are excellent.
