[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 497879, member: 24624"] Seriously? Bolt rifles never Jam? The more relevant issue assuming you could only have "one" rifle for dangerous and plains game would be accuracy to 100-200-300+ yds. Doubles aren't great for longer ranges. Or, they get expensive to tune and regulate with and without scopes. So, a bolt tends to work better (far less expensive to do so anyway). In any case, your PH will almost certainly carry a double to back you up. And, he can/will put more lead down range faster than you can with a bolt. -- richard [/QUOTE]
