I prefer bolt-action sniper rifles because they're ideal for quickscoping and it just feels like they have more power per shot (as it takes time to go from one shot to another as opposed to a semi-automatic sniper rifle can fire multiple in a matter of seconds). I don't mind using semi-automatic sniper rifles every once in a while, though.

All of my favorite snipers out of all the Call of Duty games I've played have been bolt-action rifles: M40A3 (CoD4), Springfield or Mosin-Nagant (WaW), Intervention (MW2), L96A1 (BO), MSR (MW3), DSR-50 (BOII), and USR (Ghosts).
