Bolt verses lever gun accuracy

Most say a bolt is more accurate. Comparing the same caliber, bullet weight and barrel length why would this be true or not true?

Bolt guns can fire any projectile shape, with a Spitzer or Spire point being more accurate than the round nose at greater distances.
"All things being equal" I would suggest there would be no difference in performance between the two types of rifles.
Bolt action 30-30s were very popular 'brush' guns for Michigan white tail.
