Magazine bolt rifles have a great big hole in the bottom of the receiver, this makes the mag fed bolt more flexible, and less accurate than a single shot bolt.

Single shot bolts will be never as tacticool as a repeat action bolt, but will be stronger, more reliable, and more accurate.

I own both, a Weatherby MKV, Vanguard, and a Cooper MDL 22. The Weatherby's are more accurate than any other bolt repeaters I have owned; Mdl 700's, Interarms MKX, and MDL 96 Swede, but the Cooper is in another realm of accuracy altogether.

So all who said that there's no reason for a single shot rifle report to the library for detention.
