I got some for my 30-30 for Christmas but haven't gotten a chance to get out and check it out yet. I've got to figure out what happened with that magazine issue before I trust that rifle in the woods again.

I am not a fan of bolt action rifles.
I dont hunt/shoot at those extreme ranges where a bolt action rifle has a nice advantage.
I want to get me another Model 7400
like this
Unfortunately, semi-autos aren't legal for hunting in all states such as Pennsylvania.
Sorry I forgot there are gun "commie" states that exist. 
Here I can strap up a ar-15 with a 30 round mag if I want.
although using .223 to hunt here you have to be using a 55 grain or larger.
Well in PA, at least with respect to hunting, it's not about "gun control" stuff but more about being "sporting". There's a pretty strong "old guard" mentality with respect to hunting sportsmanship. During muzzle loader season in PA, in line muzzle loaders are not allowed either, I'm not even sure if you are limited to flintlock though or whether you can use percussion capped rifles during that season though. This presents a pretty significant challenge to left handers like myself since shooting a cap and ball or flint lock as a lefty, with the lock in your face as it would be on a right-handed rifle is just a huge pain - and left handed flintlocks/percussion cap muzzle loaders are pretty rare.
I lived in PA for 3 years, PA tends to lean to the liberal side of things.
Even though you wont get one person that lives there to admit it.

Well I ain't first class
But I ain't white trash
I'm wild and a little crazy too
I have seen a lot of things in my life time.
That is why I walk the line I walk.

I have a side eject Marlin 30-30 and a scope that can go on it. I'd like to get some and try it. My uncle gave me the gun and it misfired 75% or the time. I took the stock off and found someone had put it together with the spring seat off its mount. It should fire nice now.

I'll second the positive reviews of the Savage Bolt action rifles.
I have a Savage bull barrel .223 and it shoots awesome. In fact I was at the range one time with a guy who was so impressed, he went out and got one within a week.
I also have a bolt action .270 (not a Savage) which wasn't discussed here. Its a great round and is supposed to shoot flatter than .30-06 or .308. The only downside really to this round is that it doesn't come in quite as many options as the others.

Oh I'll admit that in a second and I've lived here most of my life. The hunting thing is all about sportsmanship and not about gun control.
With that said though, PA definitely tends to be a bit more liberal on some things than I'd like. Philadelphia keeps pushing Harrisburg to adopt draconian Peoples Republik of New Jersey/Kalifornia style gun control (ban) policies, and Harrisburg has pushed back so far.
If you look at maps of gun control issues, you see PA is like a little oasis here in the Northeast, surrounded on all sides (with the exception of WV) by gungrabber states...

This thread begs the question: do the "women" of ACF use a funnel to get that much sand in their vagina or do they just slide around the beach like an angry Roomba? -deadcactus-

Bolt actions are theoretically more accurate than semi-autos.

While true, the level of accuracy in the modern era of machining and manufacturing for semi-auto, lever, pump, or bolt rifles doesn't matter for the vast majority of hunting applications.
In other words, all of those are plenty accurate enough to kill a deer out to 300 yards or so as long as the shooter himself is up to the task. It's when you really get out to long ranges where things like tolerances and so forth of bolt rifles pull ahead of others.
Nonetheless, semi-auto 50 caliber sniper rifles are certainly capable of 2500 yard accuracy so it's nothing inherent to the mechanism - it's about the tolerances of mass produced manufacturing.

Hence "theoretically" was used.
