A bolt-action is a type of firearm mechanism that requires the shooter to manually operate a bolt to load and eject cartridges. This action involves lifting the bolt handle, pulling it back to remove the spent cartridge, and pushing it forward to chamber a new round. This design is popular in rifles, such as the Remington 700, because it provides reliable feeding and accuracy. The simplicity of the bolt-action mechanism makes it easy to maintain and repair. Many hunters and sport shooters prefer bolt-action rifles for their precision and ability to handle powerful cartridges. Famous examples include the Mauser 98 and the Springfield M1903.
