Hoppdoc, my ears were burning!

Far be it for me to introduce the Dreaded Name to the discussion, but I remember Aagaard did a personal test, and another with other shooters {two articles IIRC} on this subject. I may be mixing up his sight tests with one of them.

I will look around for them, but my filing system has the appearance of a well organized library ten hours after Katrina, a dozen hand grenades and a bulldozer passed thru, so don't hold your breath...

As for the bolt speed, using the "middle finger trigger finger" method, bolt operation by a trained British competitor on the Lee Enfield was mind boggling. I have read several RPM counts timed and it is not far off what can be obtained with a semiauto. I saw a demonstration some years ago and I would not have believed it had I not seen it. AND with chargers slicked and prepared, continuous fire also just about kept up with the SLR. Using this method, the Lee Enfield action can be worked amazingly fast.

As a lefty who reaches over the top, I am no speed demon. But surely you fellows know that when it comes to handwork, speed is not the most important factor???
