Are these bolt action rifles single shot or do that have a small magazine/clip? I’ve seen bolt actions worked pretty fast by some folks.

The Lee-Enfield chambered for the .303 round has a ten round magazine with a one shot magazine cut-off feature.

10 round box magazine, recharged from 5 round stripper clips through the opened bolt.
Plus a very fast bolt action

In the Brit military the minimum qualifying standard was 15 hits on a sillouette target in 1 minute. A experienced soldier was expected to make more than 20

The record for bolt action aimed fire was set by Sergeant-Instructor Snoxall in 1914 using a Lee-Enfield: 38 hits on a 12" target at 300 yards in one minute.
