It would be interesting to have bolt action rifles be sighted in the same manner as the PKM did pre-v1.0. Even though they are suppose to be good for long range, its incredibly difficult to align a tiny pixel target to a tiny iron sight like on the Enfield.

Also the K98 in PR:WW2 handles very well, it might just be that its because everyone has iron sights, but it just somehow feels different the Enfield or Mosin.

Bolt gun has its place. It's fun, but is not the best tool for every job.

I find you have to fire, and maneuver for the bolt action to be of any use. Which on some maps is easier said than done. So the city maps with Iraqi insurgents pick an area to work from, get familiar with it. That was you can set up take 1-3 shots, and get out quickly, and move to your next shooting position. Even better if your second position can watch the area of your first shooting position that way you can get a few shots on the guys who come to check you out. Then repeat with several different shooting positions until you've taken out a good amount of people or you die, or both.

I find myself using the SKS much more than the bolt guns, because you get more rounds,and can do everything the bolt can, but better, and I own a 1952 tula aresnel myself. It'd be cool if they made it so you could fire the SMLE as fast as you can in real life, even average shooters could dump the 10 round mag in 4-8 seconds because the action is so smooth, and fast.
