So as things stand a semi has more capacity and faster firing rate (provided the shooter is proficient and practiced), but heavier and with a narrower range of ammo.

Conversely, a bolt action is slower until you get really good, when it is only slightly slower and is lighter, but carries fewer rounds although they could be real thumbers or very light charges.

Bolts are more reliable by virtue of fewer parts, but then Saigas seem pretty robust, so perhaps it's even on that point!

And accuracy, although perhaps not a Saiga's winning hand, is still partly down to the actual gun.

Does that sum it up?
