If you go to any half-way decent gun show with a wad of cash, you can
equip as
many people as you can afford with bolt-action rifles that have changed
little
since the turn of the century.	Most will be heavy caliber, have an
internal
magazine, and be reloaded with stripper clips.	And as much ammo as you
can
carry, too.  Bolt-actions are all over the place.  Usually $100-$200
each.
For single-shot bolt-actions, that's before my area of study - can't
accurately say, 'cause I haven't looked that hard. I'll check at the
next show
here in town.
