Some of the NY Instructor team has Savage bolt actions with scopes.
Great rifles, great value and they work.
One of the youngest Instructors (currently an IIT) is a lefty and uses a bolt gun.
Anybody that has seen him shoot knows that is just a pure joy to watch.
Those guys can get 10 rounds, down range into or touching a 1" square (at 25 meters, so, this is 4 MOA) in just 15-16 seconds. WITH BOLT GUNS!!!!!!
I'm a Master Instructor with the program, and I own (and love) my Remington 513-T.
Some of our other MI's are bolt gun fans.
So, don't sell a bolt gun short, especially for Appleseed.
Not sure if you meant that toward me -- but I love BA rifles and wouldn't shoot anything else. It's just a personal preference, I guess.
I was saying, however, that I would not like to run with a single-shot bolt action. I prefer a mag-fed BA.
