    I don’t even know nuthin’ 'bout no guns and my brain still filled in the phrase “thirty aught six” when I read that link.

    I read it’s one where you have to load each round separately, I guess the hunter was sure of his shot. EDIT: thanks for the corrective info, dudes.

    Charlie did have a certain deer-in-the-headlights face. Maybe he should have been wearing a red vest.

      You can have a magazine on a bolt action rifle, you just have to manually run the bolt for each round.

      Nah. That’s usually a “break action” rather than a “bolt action”. Bolt action will still likely have a magazine where you load a few rounds and need to “work” the bolt to discharge spent casings and load the next round.
