You can purpose build an AR to be more accurate than a bolt action. I did.
That said, IMO, much of the "bolt action accuracy" fallacy lies in the average
person shooting the average M4gery. The standard short, light barreled, AR,
shot by the average joe, quickly hammering out mag after mag, isn't as accurate
as the typical bolt-action shooter, who takes his time with each individual shot,
and has learned through long and hard experience to embrace better optics.
