Turnbolt only if that was all I had, can I trade for a lever action?

IMHO a pistol caliber bolt gun would do nicely. Requires lots of practice and a smooth action.
This ventures into the "No Reloads for Self Dense" area, but lower power loads make sense. Years ago-like 100-the Army issued "Guard" cartridges for the M1903, they had an MV of about 1200 FPS or so. |

Well, the .44 magnum that ruger made would make a good defensive bolt, but it begs the question, would a bolt with five round magazine be better than a high capacity Henry?

Considering Cooper's first rule of a gun fight, have a gun, a Mosin carbine, M38 or M44 is better than nothing. I think the Mossberg MVPs are great, using AR and M1A magazines. I'd own one if I had unlimited funds.

If you shoot a Mosin M38 indoors without ear pro you might never hear anything ever again.
