The biggest reason I dont have a gas gun is the cost of them. Most of my rifles are $300 rifles with a $300 quality barrel screwed onto them. I spend a lot of time tuning them and when Im done Im usually rewarded with great accuracy.
Ive spent plenty of time in PD towns with my 10/22's and can tell you that just because you can pull the trigger faster doesnt mean that you can kill more PDs in a day than a bolt gun. If you and I set up in a PD town. Me with my single shot bolt gun and you with your high capacity magazine rifle (empty from the start) by the end of the day we will shoot the same amount of ammo. You might be able to shoot faster bursts but you need to stop and reload while im steadily feeding a new round in on every shot. While your reloading magazines, I will be catching up with you on round count.
Anyhow, Im not trying to bash gas guns. Just trying to defend against the statement that bolt guns can't shoot in the .2's without the major cost that was suggested here. Of course there are some expensive postal queens out there that are very costly and dont shoot well at all. Rifles that have spent more time at the post office going back and forth from highly renoun gunsmiths trying to squeeze the extreams of accuracy out of them and yet they still dont shoot very well.
Someday I will prolly own a gas gun, my friends like theirs and they are fun to shoot once in a while.
