I'm not trolling. I've never hunted and wonder why someone buying ONE rifle would choose something more specialized and delivering less versatility. There must be something you've learned about a semiautomatic that makes it important to NOT choose one for how you'll use it.
Bolt rifle are believed to be more accurate.
Even coming from north NJ where 200yds is long range, I respect the concept you mention. However I think if you're going to only have one rifle, then versatility should rule the decision. Admittedly, I don't know a damn thing about hunting. That's why I'm posing the question with reverence.
I think the particular situation that inspired my question is unique. I hadn't bothered to notice where the poster was located.
