I guess it boils down to what a person wants to use.For many seasons I' ve used either Bolt Actions or a old model 760 Rem.This season I' m going to try out a Browning BAR Stalker in 270.Bolts actions as a rule are some of the most accurate rifles. The BAR' s are very accurate. At least mine shoots quite well.With the Semi' s you can get a second shot off faster then with a Bolt action.Like someone mentioned it doesn' t excuse a first bad shot or mean you have to empty the gun at a running deer.I do like my bolt actions, but got a deal on the BAR I couldn' t pass up. It' s all personal preference as to what you like or want. I' m just grateful we still have the right to choose what rifle we want to take afield.
Ruger Redhawk.
