Bolt action firearms are a type of repeating firearm that uses a manually operated bolt to load and eject cartridges. The shooter operates the bolt by lifting and pulling it back, which extracts the spent cartridge and chambers a new round. This design is known for its reliability and accuracy, making it popular among hunters and competitive shooters. These firearms are commonly used in rifles and are favored for their simplicity and ease of maintenance. The bolt action mechanism allows for precise shooting, as the shooter can take their time to aim between shots. This makes them ideal for long-range shooting scenarios.
