heres five videos I found among several,
the fact is that, most guys I see at the range,
have developed nearly ZERO skill for rapidly working a bolt action rifle's action,
consistently without removing the rifle from your shoulder.
The required skills gained in proper use of a bolt action rifle, through constant practice,
in increased manual dexterity don,t seem to be valued much any longer.
none of these guys are particularly skilled at rapid and consistently operating a bolt action rifle,
if the videos are used to show the skill level,
but its certainly a start point and beats the novice who drops the rifle stock off the shoulder
,to work the bolt action mechanism.
as many a guy unfamiliar with proper rifle use does.
during the first world war, British soldiers
, were expected to be able to cycle a bolt action rifle,
And accurately shoot, fast and accurately enough,
to hit a man sized target at 200 yards 20 times a minute MINIMUM,
some soldiers could easily exceed 25 hits a minute,
that would include two full magazine reloads from stripper clips

If looking for a decent value in a basic 5 gun hunting tool set,
just for hunting Ill go with what has worked for me for decades
what I want more than anything else is absolute,
dependability and decent accuracy.
there's very little in North America you can,t effectively hunt with those choices
obviously, we all make personal choices, based on experience
(1) a marlin 39a 22lr
(a small game like rabbits and squirrels )
(2) a Weatherby Mark V in 340 Weatherby
(most larger game at longer ranges, using a 250 gain bullet,
never had an elk or deer shrug off a good hit)
(3)an H&K super 90 12 ga
(you have to have a dependable semi-auto shotgun)
(4)a Colt HEAVY BARREL AR15
(varmints, hogs, and home invasion defensive use etc.)
(5) browning BLR in caliber 450 marlin
(dam effective at under 200 yards with a 405-grain bullet)
