Dumb, maybe,

Opinions vary,

Hafta agree with that mostly. SS bolts are preferred by the BR crowd and we all know what a bunch of anal retentive yokels they can be. SS in general remain popular at many levels and have been thru history.

If any endeavor with SS platforms is silly its gotta be CQ pig stickin' with CB shorts. I only know one loon that does that chitt.

On the other hand, being able to reload a SS quickly is an acquired skill and gives the lie to alleged handicaps. Walked into a herd of pigs up in Georgia one afternoon with a H&R Topper .410. One in the pipe, 4 betwixt the fingers, all Forster style slugs. One standing, two running, the last splattering blood on my jeans, and I had, as they say, shot my wad. Dunno how long that took, but it was fair quick and a lot of bolt guns don't hold 5 shells.

Just sayin'.....
