Tell that to the 14 year old girl that shot her first buck with my .30-06 semi-auto last weekend. I chose that for her because she was worried about the kick of a higher caliber round(the action chambering the next round lessens shoulder impact). She shot it, loved it, and then dropped a 10 point where he stood with 1 shot. I guess you’d say she cheated.
I love my Remington 30/06 semi auto carbine..
