I did not have a Hunter Bolt, the one I had was a Mag Bolt, supposidly an upgraded Hunter bolt.

Looks - it really did look great.
Accuracy - the stock or at least the forearm of the stock was very flexible and did cause some accuracy problems when you were using the forearm for aiming support. I solved that problem by floating the barrel.
Loads - I really did not like the max load of 100 grains loose powder and max bullet weight of 300 grains - rules out a lot of conicals.
Bore - this is one of the Spanish Extruded metal barrels - it did not have a consistent bore diameter all the way down the bore.
Sights - really cheap plastic sights - I switched mine out to Williams Fire Sights shortly ater I purchased the gun.
Accuracy - once floated - it really was not bad to 100 yards - very capable of hunting with.

I kept it for 2 years and them move in a different direction.

Really think oldsmellhound covered it about as well as I could here.

If you have not purchased the gun yet - i would suggest to your that there are a lot better 'old' technology guns out there that can be had.
