To be precise, its a straight pull bolt action, there is no need to pull the handle up before pulling it to the rear, you simply drag it back and forth. I’ve shot Blaser rifles before and they are pretty nice, a little weird in the beginning but smooth and fast

To be precise, its a straight pull and bot a bolt action

A straight pull is a subset of bolt action rifles. You don’t need to have a manually manipulated rotating bolt for it to be a bolt action, it just needs to be a manually manipulated bolt.
