I'm in the market for a .22LR rifle. First, I'm not looking for a recommendation on which one to buy. There are some really good threads on this forum with recommendations, and I've been following them with great interest.
The question I keep coming back to is the difference between a bolt action and semi-auto rifle. I understand the mechanical differences between a bolt-action rifle and semi-auto rifle. I'm more interested in the usability differences. I gather the primary difference boils down to accuracy and convenience. Bolt action rifles are more accurate, but semi-autos are more convenient for peeling off more rounds with the pull of the trigger.
Are there any other major differences? Also, how big is the accuracy difference?
