Well, setting aside the inherent accuracy a BA typically has, there is something fundamentally relaxing when using one IMO.
I don't know why, but it's the simple action of operating the bolt that I get enjoyement out of the most, especially when I use open sights.
The sound as you pull back the bolt and chamber the next round is something that just "feels good". I guess an example is why some people enjoy driving manual cars, the sense of control and perhaps the simple application of the human element to an other wise mechanical procedure.
Pricing for a BA rifle is also a nice plus in most cases, as is ease of maintenance.
So I ask, what is your reasons for liking a bolt action rifle?
