Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Pump Rifles and deer

I've used bolts, pumps and levers all my life and am quite proficient with each. There isn't much difference between them in speed of aimed repeat fire but there is a diffence. The pump is the fastest by a slight margin, followed closely by the lever which in turn is followed closely by the bolt. It's very seldom that the difference is of any consequence in the field but it can be occasionally.
