When I think of pump actions...I think of over complicated actions with long flimsy connecting bars that love to bend and snap when something binds up. I have enough fun breaking down mossberg 500s at work for occasional cleaning... I dont want that headache from any of my personal weapons
Never used one, eh?
In fact they are simple actions that are quite robust and reliable. I've had many over the years from 223 up to 35Whelens and loaded for them all. They will digest max loads and extract with no problem at all. Also, they are quite easy to disassemble for cleaning including removing the barrel. No special tools required.
Furthermore .... A rifle is not a weapon unless it it used as such.
