dannywayoflife Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 I very much doubt a bolt action is more accurate than my volquartsen! It's the most accurate rifle I've owned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6.5shooter Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Production bolt actions against production semi's will always shoot tighter groups but as 'Dannywayoflife' says once you start putting aftermarket barrels on the semis,its a close call! I also have a full custom ruger 10/22 and it puts bullet on bullet at 50yards! Hard to believe you can achieve this accuracy from a semi but they are great night time rabbiters for quick shots but its vital you clean the action every 200 rounds or so or you will start to get misfires and stuck rounds when ejecting.

12borejimbo Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Matt, get a semi auto, cos I want to have a go. HAHA It depends what you want to do, you know that, I went for a bolt action, cos I only need 1 shot, and can soon turn and slide the bolt nearly as fast as a semi auto could do it in.

dannywayoflife Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Semis are great for lamping, they allow you to shoot multiple rabbits without breaking sight picture which carnt be said about a bolt gun. Most factory semis will need work to make them super accurate but to be honest I think your better off saving a litte longer and going to syss and getting a custom jobbie. That's what I did and it's a keeper!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidTOZ Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 I have a Voere semi auto. That rifle is very accurate. I cycles subsonics good. I think its good for quick shoots on rabbits. When you ve shot one, the other rabbit sitting next is also yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garry I agree with above, i have a Ruger 10/22 with a aftermarket barrel, it is very good. But mine gets cleaned after about 500 rounds and i have no problem with misfires or stuck rounds.
