Battue -

I'm not going to start nor enter a 'discussion', aka argument.

A proficient pump shooter will instinctively have a next round chambered with a pump - from recovering from recoil w/o changing positions of either hand.

Those who cut their teeth hunting pump shotguns use a pump rifle with incredible efficiency.

It's also similar to some dropping a lever rifle TO actuate the lever action compared to those who keep the rifle shouldered and actuate the lever.

It's a matter of familiarity.

I use bolts more than pumps and I don't have to drop the rifle from my shoulder to re chamber BUT
One must release the stock with one hand to operate the bolt THEN replace that hand on the stock to shoot again.

IMHO the difference between "proficient" bolt and pump shooters will only be a matter of a fraction of a second. Emphasis on proficient.
