I have only been charged once and it was an enraged boar just after I removed his girl friend. It took him so long to cross the field that I had no trouble reloading my single shot. (woodchucks have short legs)

Clip fed rifles look clunky to me and I think there are more stock options for internal mags. I also favor long actions so I don't have to be concerned about OAL. If I wanted a repeater and a clip, I would go with a high quality AR.

It's great we all have different tastes.
