Well it depends on how good of a shooter they are.

The only other bolt action that can keep up is the K31...

I see a lot of guys at the range struggle with bolt action rifles, granted most of them are clunky Mosin's. But if your cheek position is correct you don't have to break your aim. With a K31 the ring will come to the tip of your nose.

A lot of guys try to shoot old Mosins or K98 clones that are pretty worn out, not a good tight, well oiled rifle fired with a proper cheek weld and stance. Of course all the guys in the British army that could do that were killed in the trench's in 1914/15. As time marches on people forget how old technology was properly used.

Now its all AR's and FN SCAR 17's where you jam your nose to the back of the charging handle, and ram your HOLO sight as far forward on the rail as possible.
