    what rifle is it. ie Remington 700 vssf, steyr prohunter, tikka t3 hunter. plus caliber i'd say. there is a section where you tick a box for , single shot, bolt action, semi auto, pump action etc

    If it has a magazine (floor plate, etc) and you use the bolt to manually cycle the next bullet from it then i would describe it as, simply, a "Bolt Action".

    If it has no magazine and needs each individual bullet loaded one at a time then i would descirbe it as a "Single Shot".

    If it feeds from a magazine and automatically cycles the next bullet through the use of an automatic system then i would descibe it as "Semi Automatic".

    I have heard the term repeater colloquially used for both autos and lever actions. Nowadays it is mostly used for lever actions.

    Purists would argue that a repeater holds multiple rounds. However, they have to be manually cocked before firing the next round.

    An auto holds multiple rounds and automatically cocks the gun.

    So your bolt action might technically be a repeater, however, I would leave it at that - Bolt Action.

    Usually, you gun is referred to by its action: bolt, lever, pump, semi-auto, revolver, full-auto, break, ...

    Let us know what it is and someone will advise.
