I preferred them because:
*Quick second shot
*Easier to use when prone
*With a bolt action, I find that working the bolt breaks my cheek weld to the rifle
My friend who had a 30/06 semi wouldn't touch an 06 bolt because the semi soaked up the recoil.
A bolt 06 would have killed his shoulder. (He rolled a quad 20 years ago and has ongoing injury problems, head, neck and shoulders)
