No, and same goes for shotguns
Adrian Rivera
As fighting rifles yes.
As hunting/target rifles no.
As sniper rifles maybe?
Jonathan Williams
No,
Fuck you.
Summer is bullshit.
Camden Thomas
No because they dont have a reciprocating action

Even then I wouldn’t write off the bolt action. Especially if the rifle is of a major caliber and the person is careful to engage from a far distance with a good scope. If the scope has a BDC that’s even better.
I keep saying that when the next Democratic president gets in the office and finally starts to crack down on the right, hard-core, 1 million Bubbas with their 30-06 is going to be very frustrating to the national guard

No you dumb bastard go ahead and take a look at the obscene amount of work it takes to keep a semi auto sniper rifle sub MOA. Also have fun hunting ducks with your AR.

Is bushes beans best beans for bullets and bolts?

Obsolete doesn't mean useless. A bunch of dudes with .45-70 trapdoor Springfields could cause problems too.
Also in that role they'd be acting more as snipers, where a bolt action isn't really obsolete yet.
Camden Reed
No they’re generally more accurate and the fact that the action has fewer moving parts makes them more reliable in the long run. If I were only given the choice of one rifle for a survival situation I would choose a bolt gun over semi auto.
