Default RE: Lever action or Bolt action?

What about those of us who never take a shot beyond 250 yards where is the bolt more acccurate or faster. I know I would rather take one of my levers most of the time instead of my bolt actions. I know I a lot has to do with my age as an old fart I just like the old way of doing things and the lever is way older then the bolt. Just asking a question as I am new here.

+1 on that one except most of my hunting is done well within 100 yards. I do own a 7mm Rem mag and a 300 Win mag, which are both fine calibers for whatever you and your rifle's yardage limitations are. Personally, for most situations I'm ever in I feel perfectly comfortable with my trusty Marlin 336W in 30-30. For really up close and personal I'm trying to get my hands on a winchester 92 with ghost ring sights. I have a cousin with one in 45lc and it's a beast with those buffalo bore 300 grainers
