[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 870066, member: 2011"] From way back in-the-day I was always told that single shot actions were stiffer than mag fed. Stiffer = more consistent thus more accurate. In my bench rest days it was single shot action on every thing. Even sleeved single shot actions. If the action had a mag feed it was sleeved. However, with modern materials and equipment good rifle smiths are turning out single shots and repeaters that one would be hard pressed to see any difference in accuracy. Thus accuracy wise would it make any difference which type of action were used? As it turns out the ability of the magazine to allow best COL and 100% confidence in feeding is the overriding issue. Therefore, all LRH rifles that I have, that have a mag slot, have that slot filled with alum. Seems to me a second shot is needed only when the first shot is off a bit. And how often does that happen.:D Every once in awhile, that's why Broz sets a couple right handy for a possible follow up shot. [/QUOTE]
