Anyone use a single shot for long range plinking/hunting? Are they inherently less accurate than a bolt action?
New to this stuff and just curious. |

Quoted:
Most single shots are bolt actions. They are not less accurate, and many would argue that they are more accurate due to the added rigidity in the receiver. In the type of matches that I shoot, single shot rifles are the norm. I should have specified, the break action type single shots... |

Quoted: Ok. In that case, I have no idea what you are talking about. Example: Thompson Center Contender and Encore. No personal experience, but IIRC, they shoot fairly well, but can't handle as much pressure and the handguard connects to the barrel, so are more susceptible to harmonic changes. |
