>if you're legally limited to manual action
I meant that in some places lever-actions are banned by name, while other types of manual actions are allowed. In other places pump-actions are banned while others are allowed.
>peed then pump or straight pull is the optimal solution
Neither of those are optimal. Pump-action rifles are widely panned because they have weak primary extraction. That is why the vast majority of pump actions are either rimfire or shotguns--those are low pressure cartridges which don't require much extraction effort. A double rifle or combination gun (drilling) is the optimum tool for Euro style driven hunts. The straight-pull bolt actions like Blaser aren't bad guns at all, but people aren't buying them because they're the best tool for the job, they're buying them because either:
a) the have a hardon for bolt-actions and want the most modern one specifically
or
b) they can't afford a double
