I agree with you on the accuracy of the bolt actions. I have a Ruger M77 Mark II in a 300 Winchester. I bedded the action and free floated the barrel and the accuracy is awesome with good handloads. I have taken 2 Antelope in Wyoming at just over 1000 yards. I normaly wouldn't have tried a shot that far but I was trying to impress some buddies (plus a little lazy to try to get closer). I have a few friends who have the Savage 110s and can't believe the accuracy! Their on par with the Weatherby's as far as I'm concerned.
I've grown fond of the SKS due mostly to versatility and cheap ammo. I have a synthetic sporter stock on it allong with a lazer/hollogram sight. It does get a little underpowered for big hogs but a few extra shots evens things out in the end.
