Don't get me wrong
Dan,
I like a control round feed as much as anyone can, I've shot the tightest groups that I've ever shot out of a sporter weight rifle from a rifle with control round feed. You know that you don't have that little spring loaded button in the bolt face to push the cartridge sideways in the chamber, etc.etc.
That rifle was a M77 MKII Ruger chambered in .25-06. I unfortunately had to sale that rifle for reasons I will not go into at this time. The tightest group that rifle ever shot for me was a 0.118" c/c with is kinda tight by any body's standards.
I've seen some pre '64 Winchesters that were to die for as for looks and capability. But that Ruger would do anything any one of those Winchesters would do and more, baring caliber chose for the proper hunting situation, i.e. dangerous game.
Right now I'm just getting started working on setup and load testing for a push feed action Savage that I've had for a year or two at this point. This is the second Savage rifle that I've had the privilege to own and I love it.
