But the same rules apply to any style of firearm I find that the biggest cause of missed game or even not getting a shot off at all is that people have to adjust themselves to there rifle.
It was not meant to be a bolt V pump statement but one based on the general balance and sight alignment of the rifle. The same principles apply to pump actions as apply to bolt’s actions that being fast acquisition is based on gun fit and sight alignment and not the action that fires it.
The point that I was trying to make is that that for fast target acquisition and to shoot accurately at close fast moving game a low power scope can do it very well if the outfit is properly balanced for the shooter and by turning up the scope long shots are made far easer.
Of course that’s opinion based on my experiences and may not be true for everyone.
