bolt-action rifle

A bolt-action rifle is a type of firearm where the shooter manually operates a handle (the bolt) to open and close the chamber. This process ejects a spent cartridge, chambers a new round from the magazine, and prepares the rifle to fire again. Known for accuracy and reliability, bolt-action rifles are commonly used in hunting, target shooting, and military applications. Their simple, robust design makes them durable and precise, as the manual operation allows for controlled cycling of rounds, reducing the chances of malfunctions.
