I may not need a new rifle for this. As I stated before I have a bolt action Marlin 981T that is tube fed. Will hold I think 15 rounds of LR and I have ways of loading it all at once I think. It is out of the box far more accurate than my buddies 10/22 so I could just use it, but am wondering if the bolt will be a handicap? That is the reason I am considering semi auto. I can cycle the bolt pretty smoothly, but obviously in no way can keep up with semi. What is the pace of rounds at Appleseed? I guess that is the real question. I even have a Rifle Basix trigger kit to drop in it already.
