[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 892108, member: 54178"] "Rockfish", Never meant it as a confrontational post. Being an English teacher I can't say as there is any word there that can be construed as confrontational. Can't see where it's a bit "uncivil" howsomever I shall endevor in the future to remain civil in my posts.:D I realize now that I was not keeping in mind purely single shot (no mag) rifles when I made my post regarding working cartridges through the action for unloading. I do feel no mag well single shot bolt rifles, due to their one-piece stocks, are inherently more accurate than single shot rifles with two piece stocks as on, say, a Ruger No. 1. One more plus for using a magazine of any kind as opposed to a single shot setup is that a fast follow-up shot can be made with a magazine rifle. The alternative to not having a fast follow up shot could very well be a wounded animal getting away. This is not only frustrating for the hunter but inhumane for the game animal. In the single shot rifle's favor is that it is a more "sporting" way to hunt where one must be extremely careful of the shot, accounting for much more than range and wind. Hopefully we all hunt that way but a single shot rifle [I]forces[/I] you to hunt that way. [/QUOTE]
