Justiying/explaining the use of a single shot rifle isn't necessary. It just is, and always will be.
+1. Over my years of hunting, I've primarily used single-shot rifles. Not due to any reason other than I just like them. I like the fact that the OAL's of single shots are shorter than or comparable with other rifle types, even with longer barrels (I like my rifles to be muzzle-heavy). The single shots I've hunted with are: H&R in 500 S&W and in 270 Win (laminated stock model). I now hunt almost exclusively with a CVA Scout V2 take-down model in 444 Marlin (great trigger). Though all of them were accurate with their preferred ammo, the most accurate of the 3 was the H&R 500 S&W using Federal Premium ammo with Barnes 275 gr or 325 gr X-bullet (can't remember which, as it was some time ago). I'd still have that rifle, if it didn't develop a problem that a gunsmith said would cost more than the gun to fix. A 3-shot group at 100 yards was one ragged hole.
