[quote=@Robeatics] Well I only know marginally more than the average American about guns but I know that my uncle owns a wooden stock bolt-action .22 that I am in love with. Simplicity is just the way to go for me, there's something supremely satisfying about loading in shot after shot with a rifle that recoils like a paintball gun. (I also love clay shooting. Could never hunt, though, even if most of the forests where I live are infested with non-native boars who are real assholes.) [/quote] I know the feeling. I own a number of bolt actions and really enjoy them. Particularly, as mentioned before, the SMLE.
