John:

Nice article on straight pull actions in the current issue. You mentioned the Browning T-Bolt. That's a great rifle. I know they aren't hunting rifles, but I believe most biathlon rifles are straight pull as well, and those athletes can cycle them pretty fast.

"An archer sees how far he can be from a target and still hit it, a bowhunter sees how close he can get before he shoots." It is certainly easy to use that same line of thinking with firearms. -- Unknown
