And I say you're arguing about which is the second SLOWEST repeater.
Get a pump or automatic and be done with it.

Not really. I say that an automatic, taking into account that the lever is operated while coming down from recoil, is hardly faster than a levergun in the hands of a proficient shooter. Quicker at wasting ammo, not quicker at aimed fire. I agree on the pump action, it is very fast in action, also significantly quicker than a boltgun.And I say you're arguing about which is the second SLOWEST repeater.
The problem is that most folks don't try to build any skill, let alone speed. Most are content to just make noise at the range. I spend a hell of a lot of time with single action revolvers and have to chuckle every time someone says they're too slow, to shoot or to reload. When I have absolutely no problem burning through a 550rd bulk pack of .22LR in just a couple hours.Part of the problem is that very few people even know how to operate a bolt action rifle.
I still disagree. I've spent enough time with both to know that it's physically impossible to work a boltgun as quickly as a levergun. Most so-called experts would agree. IMHO, anyone who thinks otherwise is biased and has never spent enough time with a levergun to learn its capabilities....a man who has practiced working a bolt rifle will stay right with anyone with a levergun.
