Depends on point of view. Initially Boltor is better without question. The difference here is that Boltor ignores armor and gorgon don't. But Gorgon posess both higher damage and higher fire rate and also it can use penetration mod unlike Boltor. With levels and good mods Gorgon becomes quite devastating, more so than Boltor in most cases. The Boltor has additional inherent ability - it stuns it's targets, including some of the bosses, additionaly Boltor is easier to control when firing full auto. Also, Boltor does have Polarity, albeit the crappiest one (Frost is the only real option there) and Gorgon don't.

Overall I'd say Gorgon is more powerfull and Boltor is currently somewhat underwhelming when you consider existance of Akbolto. If you're seeking late game power house - Gorgon is a better choice. If you want more well rounded and controllable rifle - Boltor is a good choice.

Shorter version - Gorgon is probably the top rifle when you want pure DpS. Doesn't mean you'll be able to achieve it in every case. And Boltor is a great and powerfull rifle on it's own, but will never be able to reach same potential against clusters of enemies or same close range devastative damage.
