my granddad (RAF shooting coach) retired said he would rather 5 slower but well placed rounds form a bolt action rifle than quick shots 30 from a semi or full auto says that the 5 shots from the bolt Acton are more effective and there for there is no need for autos and defiantly not for civilian use in some ways I agree but in other ways I very much disagree but I think there is some merit in his argument as I think a lot (not all) of people that hunt with semis get that "if I miss ill just shoot again" mentality

be intresting to hear what people think about this Honestly...... not trying to wind people up I don't do that

Sorry rambo, but that is complete bullsh*t.

You mean with a bolt action if you miss a deer, it doesn't cross your mind to load up and have another go?

It all boils down to the nut behind the butt.

I don't wanna start a shit fight( or do I? ) but it seems to be the "older" people that never have much good to say about a semi. Never heard a good word about semis from my dad or granddads. A .303 is all you need blah blah

I personally find the ability to put a much faster second round into a critter a very big plus ethically if it's needed to reduce suffering.
Just because you have a semi does not automatically (pun intended) = spraying rounds.

I reckon you're onto something, Toby.

I reckon that the invention of the bolt action was probably looked down on disapprovingly by the oldies with their muskets, too...

People who shot muskets and Martini's probably said the same kind of shit about Mausers and Lee Enfields.

Thanks Toby, I like semis so I can't be in the "older" bracket.

Ebf.

Why in your opinion, do semi automatic firearms require more stringent control?

Just because somewhere has a law doesn't mean we should copy it in my opinion.

With you on that. The majority of the problems have been with people who should not have had access to any firearms. Mostly the police had been tipped off well before hand and chosen to not act; as in the case of David Gray (SP?) and Hans Moulier (SP?).

Who's butt ya behind? And stop picking on us older gentlemen or we'll turn viral on ya. I sooner be in front of @Happy with his really nice AR than in front of @Blaser with that fucken BLASER at 350 metres. Personally I love a bolt action, but Happy nearly bent me when I had a few rounds out of his AR I could get into it there's nothing wrong with whatever burns ya! Just stay together!

I'd be more worried for the guy behind the blaser All this talk about bolts and plastic washers
