Sorry, my bad english again brings me - you probably do not quite understand. I didn't mean that semi-automatic rifles are bad. I meant that this is my first rifle after shotguns, and I believe that my first rifle should be the bolt carbine.
Because the bolt carbine - a classic! I am first of all a hunter, and I try to honor the traditions of classic hunting. One shot one kill! Well, and as noted above - it is considered more accurate, simpler and more reliable.
Of course, in the future I will also buy a semi-automatic rifle, which is more convenient for driven hunts (perhaps this word is wrong - when collective hunting in the forest is carried out), for example.

I am amused by your knowledge of Russia and its laws )) For reference: in Russia you can own 5 pieces of shotguns and 5 pieces of any rifled weapon. Quite enough to overthrow the government, I believe )
The only restrictions are that you cannot keep a gun (pistol) at home (only in a club if you are engaged in gun shooting), and fully automatic rifled weapons are prohibited.
