What rifle action do you shoot with the most?

[twofourthree73]

I would guess most people here shoot many different firearms. I tend to have have mostly pump action rifles and pump shotguns. I'm getting my first semi-auto AR-15 soon, but up until now, I've prefered pump action for my hunting rifles.

Which rifle action do you shoot with the most?

I apologize if I missed any.

 

[Afy]

Bolt actions only... since those are the only ones I own

 

[twofourthree73]

I'm suprised the bolts are ahead at this point. This seemed a more semi-auto board at my first glance.

 

[herr.baer]

Bolts only here. Rem 700 and Sauer 200, both in 30-06

 

[Rugerlvr]

Semi only, as I don't own a bolt right now.

(I'd like to, it's just not in the plans)

 

[H2O MAN]

My entire collection consist of semi-automatic loaders
with the lone exception of a Winchester lever gun

 

[Tarvis]

I've got an even spread between bolts and semi's. I voted semi, but it only wins by a hair.

 

[lions]

I voted semi auto, I blame my 10/22.

 

[Joseph85]

I vote semiautomatic because I own an AR. My AR has a very hungry appetite.

If you asked which action I enjoy the most, it would be bolt action. I appreciate the simplicity, accuracy, and a better feeling trigger over the AR.

 

[DSAPT9]

I also own bolt and semi but I do find myself shooting my semi autos most of the time. I am not sure if it is the cool factor or my subconscious telling me to stay proficient.

 

[oldgold]

Bolts, specifically mil-surps. Started shooting them in the early sixties. Shot everything else. Now again in my second childhood, back to basics. One shot , one "X". Waste not , want not.

 

[Harve Curry]

Levers mostly, then bolt action or single shot, semi auto rare occasions.

 

[Water-Man]

Bolt action... Remington & Weatherby

 

[strat81]

Semis, as that's all I own.

 

[TimT]

bolt guns, do have only 1 semi, that is the M1 Garand. Mostly controlled fed actions - M98's. Favorite is my FN Higgins .30-338

excluding .22's of course.

 

[KI.W.]

Controlled bolt action. I have three Mausers; .22-250Rem, .308Win, 9,3x57.
Also Rem 700 .30-06.

 

[Chipperman]

Semi and Full-auto most often.
I do have a lot of Bolt-actions, though.

 

[RugerBob]

I find myself using my lever actions and bolt actions more and more as I conserve on ammo. Even tho I reload, I have been conserving some of my semi auto ammo.

 

[nwilliams]

Its almost a toss up between bolt and autoloader for me. I always seem to have both with me when I go out shooting. As far as number of rounds go I can certainly say I put more rounds through my autoloaders.

 

[Shawnee]

Number of shots fired - my .22lr - which is an Ithaca 72 lever-action.

 

[skinewmexico]

I bet it's an age thing.

 

[ArmedBear]

umber of shots fired - my .22lr - which is an Ithaca 72 lever-action.

Yeah, the winner by number of rifle shots fired for me is .22LR by orders of magnitude at the moment.

Semiauto wins, followed by lever action. Sometimes they're reversed.

I don't currently own a bolt-action .22, but if I did, it would still probably come in third behind those, simply due to rate of fire.

Semi Auto

 

[JesseL]

Does "most" refer to round count, or time spent at the range?

I spend about equal amounts of time with my bolt guns and my self-loaders, but the latter runs through 5 times more rounds

 

[MCgunner]

Center fire bolt

Rim fire auto
