Semi-auto. I’m not a prepper, but I’m looking at going nostalgic for a M1A Standard Issue. My grandfather had an M1 Carbine that I used to shoot as a kid. I fell in love with that thing.

I guess lever action isn’t on the agenda?

One could make the case that lever-action is a subset of “bolt”.

FALs are really fun to shoot. What model is that? Looks newer, DSA maybe?

ImVho, the BETTER choice is a quality PUMP-rifle like the Remington Models 760 & 7600, as the slide action is about as accurate as any “factory” bolt-gun, QUICK for follow-up shots, seldom needs repair & is more reliable than a Semi-Auto.

What does Paul Harrell say? I'm sure he has a youtube video on this subject. I love that guy.
Personally, I'd go bolt. Less moving parts.

I like the article that some posted a while back advising 1 each off several weapons. If u can afford it gives you multiple tools in the tools box. If all you have is a hammer l youre screwed.

Same question as, “What’s better - a hammer or a screwdriver?”

If you are a lousy shot, semi-auto.

Ruger PC carbine in 9mm. Uses glock magazines. Mags can be interchanged between a handgun and this short rifle.

Yes, but I was thinking more along the lines of long term repair. Bolt actions are much simpler............

M1A!!! All the way!
I love the 2 I have. One with a scope and one with iron sights.

I go with semi auto and lever action. We have both. With a bolt action distance is your friend. Up close not desirable it’s too slow.
