There is something about cycling a bolt that is meditative / therapeutic. I'll take 4 hours to shoot 50 rounds out of a bolt gun, but I have to force myself to go slow with an AR. I picked up the AR platform as result of participating in 3-Gun Competitions. Fast shooting with minimum of 2 rapid shots on each target from point blank out to 500 yards sometimes all in same stage. It reinforced a quick target acquisition and quick rigger response when shooting a semi-automatic platform.
