Airguns don't really have a bolt in the traditional sense. I have a couple of bolt action .22LR which have a very satisfying clunk clunk, those with larger calibres probably more so. Having a puny version of that on an airgun would just feel wired to me.

I guess it's all personal preference but from the design point of view they produce what best fits the overall mechanism, regulators etc.
