Sure occasionally bolt guns are used in the commission of a crime. But most hunting type guns are stolen because they happen to be in the house or vehicle they break into, are easy to sell for quick cash to hunters and shooters who knowingly or unknowingly wont turn down an unrealistic deal. Thieves view hunting guns no differently than they view a lap top, x-box, chainsaw, cellphones, tools, whatever, they are goods they can easily get rid of in exchange for quick cash. I don't worry much about those type of guns on the black market, the ones I worry about are the ones stolen from a targeted individual who has a collection of restricted handguns and assault rifles or gun shop that is directly targeted and only handguns and assault rifles stolen, while the bolt rifles and double barreled shotguns are left on the rack.
