A few years ago I was hunting black tail deer on Afognak Island, Alaska. My wie and guide were with me. The island is rife with brown bears, but our chambers were empty. Jumped a black tail , snapped the rifle up and fired when it hit my shoulder...dead deer. My wife said I worked the bolt so fast and fired that the deer only went about 20 yards before I shot him. Years of practice and you get pretty good at it.
If I am sitting in a ambush situation I do like to keep one up the spout as it is a bit noisy trying to slip one in, especially in a close range situation.
