Heres the Rub
The pre '64 actions are at a commodity these days, they had a big reputation at the be all of end all actions. A lot of them were very accurate and the controlled round feed was the bees knees back then.
What the pre '64 believers will not tell you is that all of those actions were hand fitted back then. They were not consistent in quality or the metallurgy of the materials. They will also not tell you that the post '64 actions were of better quality and a whole lot more accurate. That's not to say that the pre '64 actions were not accurate because SOME of them were extremely accurate, its just that the accuracy was not consistent through out the entire series. The only reason that Winchester went back to the controlled round feed is that a lot of the customers were raising cane for it for ever and a day to get it back. It was then the the controlled round feed came back in the Winchester line. And then a lot of the new control round feed actions were a variation of/or a combination of a control round feed and a push round feed. For someone who only believes in the pre '64 action there is nothing better. But there are other manufactures out there that make control round feed actions that are not only better made there quality is better and they are consistently more accurate. These days you can buy a brand new rifle that will do anything that the pre '64 actions will or could do and do it a whole lot better and at a better price. But its like anything else. If its something that you want and the price for it is worth it to you, then by all means indulge yourself if thats what you want. Bulletpusher
