Rifles That Handle Fast Shots Better Than Semis

Can lever-action rifles handle fast shots better than semi-automatics?

According to an article (and list of lever-actions) in The Avid Outdoorsman, some can and do cycle better and allegedly faster than semi-autos.

They begin their article with:

A lot of hunters assume semi-autos always win when you need to make fast follow-ups, but that’s not the full story. Some bolt-actions and lever-actions are designed so well that they can cycle and re-acquire targets faster than many semis. With the right rifle in hand, you don’t lose accuracy to speed—and sometimes you actually gain control. These rifles have proven themselves in the field when quick shots count.

I suppose that the term, "you be the judge" applies.
