Actually you shouldn't need follow up shots if the shooter is experienced. There are allof of shooters who can shoot to 1000 yards and beyond with ease. I haven't quite got to that point yet as it's very tough. Be prepared to spend some money on a quality rifle, mounts, optics, ammo and accesories.     http://www.snipershide.com/cgi-bin/u...ultimatebb.cgi    There is allot of long range shooting info there. Be respectful while there as there are allot of military and law enforcement who are members there.        Never had a bolt action. I imagine you'd need lots of practice to be fast and proficient with follow up shots.
