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.
Well, i'm an old fart too, but i've NEVER hunted where i could "never" take a longer shot. Maybe the longer shot would be when walking into the spot, or maybe i changed my mind, and moved to a more open spot later in the day???
I'm not into shooting into the next county to kill an animial, but i'm also not into limiting myself to 250 yards either...
One thing is forsure... If you buy10 bolt guns and10 lever guns, using factory ammo, i'll bet you the bolt guns will out shoot the levers. Maybe not in every case, but it's no secret that bolt guns outshoot levers almostevery time.
Personally, these days i don'thunt much witheither one... BTW, ido NOT hate lever rifles...
