I have a BAR MK II and 2 of my hunting buddies have as well. Reliability is exactly 100%, so not sure how a bolt gun is going to be more reliable. Accuracy with all the BARs I have first hand experience with is uniformly excellent. Mine prints well under MOA and one of my buddies BAR shoot little bitty one hole cloverleafs all day long. By the way, I also had a BOSS equipped BAR, which I replaced with an non-BOSS. It was equally accurate and reliable.
The standard BAR is no heavier than a standard bolt gun and to me, easier to carry with the flat receiver. Truth is, I have only once in 19 years with the BAR needed a second shot. It is unquestionably faster than any bolt gun. Reduced recoil and there is another round already waiting for you.
I can't imagine anybody who has actually hunted with a BAR having any real fact based objection. I do own a number of excellent bolt rifles too and hunt with them as well, but the BAR will always be one of my favorites.
