Worrying about how loud my action is ranks up there with wondering if I should put my left leg or right leg into my pants first while getting dressed. You really can't figure on what the deer will do if you have to reload no matter how loud/quiet your action is. Probably in most cases the time factor is more important than the quiet factor in the situation the original poster described. If you shoot and miss, you probably won't have all day to reload and shoot again as the deer is going to figure out it's time to go elsewhere, if it hasn't already. A rapid reload will trump the noise factor in my experience/opinion.

The Savage 99, rotary magazine, controlled round feed is not loud to cycle when done slowly. If you find yourself with a dud or empty chamber, then it might matter.
