Question since we are mentioning rifles in this post...and not to hijack - Are bolt action rifles more accurate than semi-autos? Why? A friend at work told me that they were and that it has been proven. I don't doubt it I would just like to know why?
Thanks.
I would be uncomfortable making that generalization across the board but a lot of bolt action centerfire rifles are more accurate than a lot of semi autos I have tried. There are exceptions as with anything. A lot of times though accuracy is dictated by the trigger, most semi auto rifle triggers are not very good.
Also a lot less moving parts in a bolt gun. I feel that it kinda boils down to if a person can shoot or not. In the hands of a trained shooter a professionally built bolt gun will out shoot the gas gun of equal quality every time.
