The Pump-Action is superior to all other types of manually operate actions.
why is it better than the Lever gun?
-Can easily use a more conventional and stronger locking mechanism such as those found on the bolt action.
-Can be easily operated in the prone position
-working the action does not throw off the aim
-Finger can remain on trigger while working the action
-easily designed to be magazine fed
-doesnt require your hand to be inside of a ring.
-The bolt does not comeback in your face when working the action
-bolt can lock up inside barrel instead of receiver, so the receiver can be made of lighter material.
-jams are easily resolved like on any semi-automatic rifle(remove mag, operate action)
-can be scaled up easily.
-easier to manufacture
-smoother action
-stuck casings can be mortar dropped, unlike lever guns which you have to break across something.
-easier to disassemble and clean
-action is barely exposed when operating the action.
There are probably more.
why is it better than bolt action?
-action is easier and faster to cycle.
-finger doesnt have to leave trigger to cyle the action
-the bolt doesnt comeback in your face when cycling the action
-stuck casing can be mortar dropped to open the action, unlike bolt actions where you have to beat the bolt open.
-the action can be more enclosed
-can be just as accurate
-non-dominant hand can work the action.
-scope can be easily mounted directly over the action.
-can be easily operated if you have one hand.
-if the gun fire out of battery, there is a receiver to hold the explosion.
-nothing to get hung-up on while moving through thick foliage
-action is barely exposed when operating the action.
There are probably more.
prove me wrong.

hows the trigger on that 760
my old man has a pump .270
i like everything but the trigger.
and my 2cents is that a bolt is simpler and stronger.

Weapons grade autism right here.

the bolt can be just as simple and just as strong.
Trigger is nice and crisp. pretty much no take up. better than most bolt actions.

im not justifying. I love it and i want it to be more appreciated. I want to see more produced.
but if you load it with pointy bullets the tube will explode

not really, all other points are valid and those are rare.
