[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1986886, member: 2736"] In general a fixed action is normally more accurate because there are fewer moving parts when fired to add to the harmonics. Many semi auto can be very accurate, But the chances of a bolt action being accurate is greater. You won't see many, if any semi auto's used for bench rest or long range shooting for a reason. More predictable, consistent and easier to tune loads for. The bolt actions are the most predictable because nothing moves but the bullet when fired. the semi auto's have many moving parts that can/are affected by slight changes in pressure and velocity effecting accuracy. When everything is set up perfect and the ammo is tuned to the rifle, they can be very accurate. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
