I'd think for anyone who had spent any time practicing it shouldn't be that hard. I work on a similar drill quite often with my rifles. I use a paper plate at 50 yards and fire 3 shots. I've had other shooters time me before. Three shots, 3 hits in 4.09 seconds with a Winchester 70 is my best, and I've never gone over 5 seconds. I know my targets are bigger, but at 2X the range. And only 3 shots, but that leaves me 4-5 seconds for the 4th.
Most shooters never think of a bolt rifle as being fast so they never practice with them. With practice anyone can keep up with or beat most guys shooting lever actions.

You left one thing out. The PH was shooting .470 NE loads. A roughly equivalent cartridge available in affordable bolt rifles would be the .458 Lott. Do you think you could still make these shots with the .458 Lott?
