Imagine how much more dangerous our cities would be, if young “gangsters” discovered scoped, bolt action 30-06s. Cities are safer, while the punks are spraying loose rounds all over the place with “cool” looking firearms.
The fact is, in many situations, a good bolt gun is pretty damn dangerous. That’s why the hell we still use them in the military. You have to operate a bit differently than with autos, but long range killing power does matter. The gang bangers wouldn’t get it, cause they’re not thinking. Spray and pray isn’t a winning tactic, even in urban ops.
