The two I shoot the most are my savage mkII and my marlin 917V, so I shoot bolts the most. I have more semi-autos than bolts, but I actually enjoy shooting the bolts more.
 
During the summer semi-autos more – too hot to spend much time at the range. During the winter when it’s not as hot I’ll spend the day with the K31, M91/30, and CZ bolts in .22LR, .17HMR, and .223 shooting at targets.
 
I think I shoot my bolt actions the most, because my long range gun is a bolt and that's what I'm into right now. However the AR's and SU's get a regular workout, and I take the HK SLB and BAR's out for exercise every now and then.
 
I have a number of different types, levers bolts and pumps. I enjoy shooting all of them but I take my AR to the range every time I go and out atleast one mag through it just to keep sharp. I shoot shoot semi's the most
 
In terms of rounds fired in a year, it's mostly semi. However, when I do take out my bolt guns (Marlin .22, Tikka T3, and hopefully soon BOHICA FAR-50), I spend about as much time with them, just a lower round count. This is because I'm generally practicing at 300m or less with the AR, and greater distances with the Tikka take more time to set up, prepare, adjust, and check the target after each shot.
 
Bolts -

All but one are bolts.
I just have more fun shooting bolts as each shot is an almost new sight picture and I find it takes more concentration & holds my attention better.
The one semi is the obligatory 10/22 which is getting shot less & less. With the 10/22, if it didn't go "pop", I wouldn't know it went off.

I have lever and bolt action rifles only, and since the bolt actions out number the lever action that's what I shot most. However I have more fun shooting the Henry. :)
 
Guns I shoot the most, in order from most frequently to least:

1. M1 Garand
2. 1903A3
3. 1911
4. M1 Carbine
5. Mosin Nagant 91/30 sniper
 
semi because more bullets are fired than the other actions. sks 8 strippers vrs mosin 20 rounds. ar 3x30 vrs rem 700 20 rounds. 10-22 7 blocks vrs 452 20 rounds or golden boys 17
 
I have to say semi-auto for me since my .22 rifle is a semi-auto (Marlin Model 60) and I've put more rounds downrange with it than with any other gun simply because of price to feed it. The price of .22LR ammo is the only reason I am able to go to the range twice a week, so along goes my .22LR. My WASR-10 sees the second-most action, however I only shoot it when I get a case of ammo (about once a month, when I have money).
 
I shoot a particular bolt gun more than any others, but if you count them all it might be the semis. Also a new semi I have is getting a bigger share of the pie now.
 
Semi auto .22

I only own one rifle, a Thompson Center Benchmark. I've had it for just over a year and the round count is 3805, of which friends have fired about 400.
The next one on the list would be a lever (used at the rifle club).
