Some barrets are Bolt ,semi`s and even a bullpup.

I would love a nice bolt action in .300WSM for 1000 meters.
I have a nice Parker Hale which is fine for anything up to 600m.
It also has double the mag capacity of any other centrefire rifle in Canada.
Here all mags have to be pinned at 5 but Enfield`s which can have 10 (Parker Hale`s are based on Enfield actions)and Garands which can have 8.
