I have tried them all fairly extensively over the years, and it is a case of 'horses for courses' as each is perfectly suitable in its right place. For general field and 3-gun shotguns I definietly prefer pump action, but I use an U&O for trap and skeet. Lever action rifles are fine for cowboy action but other than that I don't like them. I hunt with bolt actions, except for goats where I use my AR15, or my 10/22 for bunnies. For a thoroughly enjoyable day, nothing is better than full-auto! I do not like muzzle-loaders much as they are slow, dirty and finickity, but I still shoot them from time to time. With pistols I prefer a revolver for its accuracy, but use semi-autos for IPSC. I guess the short answer is; it doesn't matter much, I just like shooting!
