[QUOTE="Jcann, post: 3268941, member: 33119"] As you can see from the replies, it's basically personal preference. Speaking in generalities a bolt gun should shoot more accurate, (although there are some very accurate gas guns) if you reload chances are you can drive the bullet faster/safer in a bolt gun and the bolt gun will probably be more reliable over its lifetime. If I did a lot of hunting coyote's over a call or hogs on bait, I would probably want a gas gun. If I'm on the open plains after antelope or shooting across canyons after elk, a bolt gun is called for. Deer in Okla., take your pick. It really depends on the shooting distance, terrain type and what your mood is. I more or less stopped shooting gas guns after I got out of the Corps. They are fun but I hated reloading for it. My bolt guns have not hindered me hunting and harvesting anything I've wanted. I feel I'm set up (6.5 & 7mm) to shoot in any situation set before me. I can shoot just as far and in most cases further and I can definitely bring more hammer to the nail. [/QUOTE]
