I'm not entirely unskilled when it comes to hunting OR shooting. I've taken some pretty respectable trophy's on 3 continents, and won a couple dozen shooting competitions. I wouldn't pay money to buy a single shot rifle for hunting on a bet, and wouldn't use one unless there was no other option. This is a personal preference, and has nothing to do with skill at either hunting or shooting. I PREFER a rifle that I can reload quickly for follow-up shots. I don't know many great shots or great hunters that PREFER single shots.
I'm not entirely unskilled either, but I do prefer the single shot (falling block.)
My father-in-law has a resume that mirrors (or exceeded) yours and also prefers falling blocks. Don't confuse your dislike for the general consensus.
