...buttstock that hold four extra magazines (for quick loading during a race). I love the sights that have extra-large adjusting knobs so you can re-zero quickly during the race if the conditions or wind changes. I love the pull action bolt, which allows for a much quicker cycle of fire than a regular bolt action (the International Biathlon Union rules allow for a competition rifle to have a five-round magazine, but the athlete must cycle the action manually between shots).

...many as 25,000 would-be inventors each year take the bait, and, quicker than you can say "rags to riches," find themselves caught in a very different kind of mousetrap.
