RE: Bolt v. Semi
Semis in cold weather aren't dependable in my experience. There may be some models that are better and with minimal lube are acceptable in colder weather.
But I'd recommend taking a look at a Tikka T3. The trigger on it is far superior to what Ruger has put in their rifles for years. It's comparable in price and much more in quality and accuracy out of the box for the money, imo.
