If there were no semiautomatics, pump action rifles would be just fine. They are fine anyway. They are faster to use than bolt actions, but are almost as good, if not as good, at extracting stubborn cases. They might be a hair less accurate than bolt actions. They basically share most of the characteristics of semiautomatics. There are even "California" versions of the AR-15 which are pump actions.

The lever action was fine in it's day, and is still good. Some lever actions have box magazines, but most have tubular magazines, like most pump and semi-auto shotguns. Those are not good for pointy bullets, because the recoil shock may cause the point to set off the primer of the catridge in front of it.

Manufacturers make left-handed bolt action rifles.
