For you folks that shoot further than 250 meters out to a max of 400 meters or so:
1) Do you prefer the precision accuracy of a bolt action or will a semi auto do it?
2) If you were shooting around 250 meters with the range decreasing as time goes by, would you stick with your bolt action or would you prefer to have a semi auto?
I've always been an "inside 200 meter guy" who shoots ARs and AKs. I know NOTHING about using bolt action rifles. If a target was coming at you and steadily decreasing the range, is the increased accuracy of a bolt action worth it or is the greater capacity of the semi auto the way to go? I know there are many really good shooters on here that have shot or shot at many different things. I've got a friend who asked me about this in regards to a SHTF situation and I couldn't answer him because I simply don't know. My friend is a decent shot, but no marksman by any means. Appreciate the help!
