"Anything a lever action can do, a bolt could do better." - True or False?
Other than sentimental factors like the historical allure of lever actions, the joy of working the action, etc. are there any objective factors in which a lever action is superior to a bolt action rifle?
As it stands I have too many lever actions (is there such a thing?) and no bolts (just a .22) and I'm wondering if I'm really missing out on anything...
Edit: Not sure why but the mods changed my subject to include pumps and semis when my thread was specifically about BOLTS compared to LEVERS, not any of the other actions.
