IMHO, a bolt gun will usually cut a semi-auto group in half, all other factors being equal.
A .308 is not a good choice for a 1000 yard gun.
You can get a bolt gun to shoot competitively for a LOT less money than a gas gun.
I have a .300 Win Mag bolt gun which has put 10 rounds into 4" at 1000 yards.
Show me the gas gun that will do that, or a gas gun which has won a 1000 yard match against bolt guns.
When you have to make a lot of fast, accurate shots, fairly close in, some gas guns (SR-25 or M1A NM) are king. You want to make a few, very accurate shots beyond 600 yards, the bolt is the way to go.
Just my .02, YMMV. LR1947 is the authority.
