Proper bolt rifle manipulation! - Rick Mulhern - 09-09-2014
Having to take the rifle down from the shoulder to operate the bolt is a sure sign of a novice! Shooting NRA HP in the Match Rifle category for a number of years will teach the below technique quite well! Watch this guy! He knows the method:

Good shoot'n for sure, and not his 'first-day' by any means.
It is also quite an ordeal to get a German hunting lic.

No Kurt!
Most of my observations have been such that those shooting bolt guns take the rifle down from the shoulder to operate the bolt! A few I've known who shot NRA HP in Match Rifle class know how but the 20 shots a year guy is lost!! It's pretty obvious that the kid in the video learned the procedure the right way!!

Well I learned this hunting rabbits using a .22 US 44 Mossberg. Cant get off a second shot taking the rifle down with a fast moving rabbit running for cover
