I am not an auto fan, I admit to being a big pump action fan, I grew up using a 270 pump of my dads and bought an old one just like it a few years back, it is my favorite gun for timber hunting deer or elk. I can shoot it as fast as an autoloader and never have to worry about it jamming, of course I have been using one just like it since I was 10 years old so a lot is familiarity. I also love a lever action, but keep in mind that I am left handed and particularly when buying used guns it is hard to find left handed bolt guns, while the other actions are fairly ambidextrous. Bolt guns tend to be extremely reliable and better long range tack drivers however. I may like a pump or lever action better, but if I had to break it down when it comes to centerfire actions I use bolt action more than anything else except for bear hunting (black bear) where anymore I strictly use a 45/70 lever action guide gun.
Bottom line, I prefer some other actions but generally recommend a bolt to others due to their reliability and accuracy.
I to have seen bolt actions (and about every other action) fail to fire due to cold, stiff lube. Autoloaders are undoubtedly the most finicky and unreliable action, however.
