Default RE: accuracy of semi-auto?

Lets face it guys, 99% of hunters will never need the difference in accuracy between a bolt gun and a Semi Auto.Not to mention, (I know that this will hurt some feelings),most shooters, hunters, do not shoot well enough to see the difference anyway.Sure, bolt guns are inherently more accurate, but then there are some super semi Autos out there now too. If you want an accurate Semi Auto. Buy an Armalie AR-10
get one with the Varment type barrell and go to town.This Rifle will easily shoot out to 800-1000 yards.You might only be looking at an accruace difference of .25 MOA between the two rifles. but big deal. When you talk about killing an animal at less than 200 yds, generally less than 100 yds, that 1/4 inch difference is not going to make a difference.
If you want an excellent right out of the box bolt gun, I too am a hugh fan of the Remington. Buy a Remingon 700 PSS. You can use it up close, and you can shoot it out to 800-1000 yds if you are good enough.
What is boils down to, f you want a semi auto, in a large caliber, there are some excellent choice out there. Go ahead and get it. If you want a bolt gun, you won't go wrong there either.
