reynolds357 A pump isn't any faster than a bolt
? Evidently you have never witnessed someone shoot one , that knew what they were doing
. Your skill with a bolt gun must be legendary in your parts ! As far as accuracy goes , my pumps will hold their own against any off the shelf bolt action . I very seldom need a followup either but I like having one ready to go , without moving my hands on the rifle . A bolt is just not practicle , for my style of hunting , and the terrain and weather that I hunt in . I have a bunch of bolt guns and they are fine where speed isn't a requirement , or the target (game/varmint) is way out yonder , they're perfect ! Happy hunting my friend , keep your powder dry !
