I don't think the rifle has that much to do with it. Hathcock did pretty well...and all he had was a Winchester.

Seriously, forget the top load, or stripper clip stuff of 70 years ago or what Cooper preached 30 years ago.
The AICS mag fed rifles of modern tactical & sniper competition pretty much rule in capacity or speed in reloading. Can you get set up with them using a Springfield? To me the 03A3 follower was the worst in WWII. The 03 bottom metal was great. I would be happy to upgrade my 03A3 to a AICS system.

I wouldn’t trust any modern hunting rifle in any battle situation other than limited sniping. You might fire a couple hundred rounds in an afternoon in an actual battle. I suspect most of our modern hunting bolt actions would schit the bed doing that.

They should throw in some recoil from actual ammunition and re-do the video. A target would be interesting, as well.

Whatever you said...everyone knows you are a lying jerk. That's a bold assertion. Point out where you think I lied. Well?

I'm pretty sure my experience with 700's exceeds yours. By 100X's. LOL

If I had to pick one I currently own I would choose my Sako Safari Grade in 300 Win Mag quality built rifle and the quarter rib rear sight and hooded front sight are very stout and accurate.
Coyotes shot no waiting.

I've got a lot of bolt guns. I figure my 10-22 would see the most use.

I f I HAD to pick a bolt gun to fight with it would probably be a Ruger Gunsite carbine. Realistically it wouldn't matter much, using a bolt gun in a real fight would most likely result in your death.

Reliability and ease of putting rounds in the magazine make my choice a Mauser. Next would be a Ruger 77. A Springfield would be third place unless it had 1903 bottom metal then it would be second. You are going with a super old probably not as accurate. I'll go with new and very accurate: ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/yx1h2IJ.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/Wi8CWv5.jpg) 10 rounds in the box mag and super smooth bolt with flawless trigger.. Makes putting rounds where you want them easy as schidt.. I'd "fight" at a distance and you'd never hear me or see me... Curious BSA is that a Tikka T3x with a 10rd Tikka mag?? I like it.
