Yup.
The real advantage of a semi, for whitetail hunters anyway, is the ability to take a second shot without any additional movement or noise. Deer often don't run off at the sound of a shot, but the noise and movement from working a bolt or lever will put them on the scoot. Back in the days when I used to miss (!) occasionally (okay, often), that could have made a big difference. I remember two occasions when I missed bucks with my TC Hawken during the Maryland shotgun season and they stayed put almost long enough for me to reload because they didn't see or smell me.
