bolt action
Bolt action is a type of firearm action in which the weapon's bolt is operated manually by the opening and closing of the breech (barrel) with a small handle, most commonly placed on the right-hand side of the weapon (for right-handed users). As the handle is operated, the bolt is unlocked, the breech is opened, the spent cartridge case is withdrawn and ejected, the firing pin is cocked (this occurs either on the opening or closing of the bolt, depending on design), and finally a new round/cartridge (if available) is placed into the breech and the bolt closed. Bolt-action firearms are most often rifles, but there are some bolt-action shotguns and a few handguns as well. Examples of this system date as far back as the early 19th century, notably in the Dreyse needle gun. From the late 19th century, all the way through both World Wars, the bolt-action rifle was the standard infantry firearm for most of the world's militaries.
In military and law enforcement use, the bolt action has been mostly replaced by semi-automatic and selective-fire firearms, though the bolt action remains the dominant design in dedicated marksman rifles. Bolt-action firearms are still very popular for hunting and target shooting. Compared to most other manually operated firearm actions, it offers an excellent balance of strength (allowing powerful cartridge chamberings), ruggedness, reliability, and potential accuracy, all with light weight and much lower cost than self-loading firearms, and can also be disassembled and re-assembled much faster due to fewer moving parts. The major disadvantage is a slightly lower practical rate of fire than other manual repeating firearms, such as lever-action and pump-action firearms, and a far lower practical rate of fire than semi-automatic weapons, but this is not a very important factor in many types of hunting, target shooting, and other precision-based shooting uses.
New in box Aero precision Solus action. If you haven't gotten your hands on one of these yet, don't miss out. The easily compete and out perform actions which are double the cost.

Up for consideration is this sweet bolt action takedown rifle from TacSol. It's ridiculously lightweight, more accurate than me and fabulous host for a whisper pickle. Great condition, factory sticker still on it, includes factory TacSol box, test shots paper and paperwork.

Looking for the bolt assembly for a JC Higgins model 51-L chambered in 30-06. Please let me know if you are parting out an old rifle or you know a guy who knows a guy.
I saw a model 50, 583.98, bolt up for bid on Ebay, but I’m not sure it is compatible.
Thank you for your time and help.

Lot of 6.5 CM Q FIX hype on youtube. Lot of money for a very light rifle, but fair if it brings V-good things to the table.
Shootable in .308? Seems to be a lot of used rifles for sale, given the tiny market. Not usually a good sign on a $3200...
I would also consider trade for a Ruger American Rimfire in 22LR.
Lightly used, maybe 200 rounds through the rifle.
New ones are going for around $300 on Gun Broker; with mine, you don't pay tax or shipping, but I will insist on an FFL transfer.
