bolt and lever action poll against semi-auto weapons

[1stCavScout86]

So I have a co-worker that feels he likes single action and bolt action weapons to semi-auto and double action weapons. Does everyone here share the feeling or is it just his preference?

Whatever works for him. If he is comfortable and shoots levers better, than more power to him.

For what use? I prefer semi autos for self defense against other humans. I prefer bolt actions and their associated larger cartridges for hunting. I have no use for lever actions.

I only carry handguns for defense against humans, so I prefer semi-autos.

"Likes" is a terribly personal and subjective verb.

What is the application, and what does it matter?

Watch this weeks episode of Tac TV, LAV covers this very subject. Precision vs quick follow up shots with decent accuracy. Pick your poison.

Prefers* my apologies. He states that he would rather a less modern feel to his firearm. I argue that there isn't a lot of practicality to his preference. I appreciate everyone's input.

If he is in Illinois, like you, he doesn't have much choice!

Thats not true. As long as a citizen has a foid card he or she can own anything but class 3 and silencers. The restrictions come from cook county. The bans dont reach through the whole state. Only the liberal northerners.

Different people own firearms for different reasons. Many people view their defense need differently too. I know quite a few guys that order to collect rather than shoot. Then there's the guys I know like your buddy who prefer to shoot and collect milsurps and bolt/lever guns. To each his own is where I leave it.
