Best Controlled Feed Action???

[rustyshackleford]

Can't argue with any of the above except the idea that all new CRF actions are inferior. I have 2 Bighorn SR 3's which work very well and I don't think you will find many people with any complaints about them.

Isn't that similar to the controlled round push feed Winchesters?

As for "tuning" I have yet to see any CRF Mauser military rifle or any 1903 Springfield that had any problem cycling the cartridges they were designed for. The same is true for any commercial Mauser Werke Mauser, Rigby or Holland and Holland. Also commercial FN and CRF Browning Mausers run like sewing machines.

I have to answer that with an answer you rarely see here. I don't know. I have never owned a post 64 CRF Win. I will look that up. I was under the impression that CRF and push feed were mutually exclusive.

The push feeds were not CF

Then they went back to CF

Defiance makes the deviant with a crf claw extractor. That's probably the best.

No such thing as having both from what I read. Like I said I don't have any post '64 Winchesters. The only inconvenience of the Bighorn CRF action is all rounds have to be placed in the magazine before chambering. No drop a round in the action and close the bolt at the range. It has to come up from the magazine for the bolt to "control" it. The payback on Bighorns is no spring loaded ejector to throw your brass all over. The manual ejector allows nice and easy removal or if you want to work the bolt vigorously you can throw your $1 Lapua brass so far you will never see it again.

Take this as a learning experience. The model 70 came in at least three variants that I have seen. The original CRF, a partially opened bolt face similar to the big horn bolt face posted earlier, and a straight pushfeed with a fully enclosed head. The one with a partially opened face had a fixed ejector and spring loaded extractor and was referred to as controlled round push feed.

I'm to the point that I'm pretty sure you can just save us all some time and effort by A) no longer participating in this conversation since you have not offered anything constructive B) just type "WRONG!!" in all caps every third post since that's basically what you do now but it's shorter.

I'm surprised it won't single feed considering the extractor isn't fixed.

All M70s will single feed.

Generally, the workmanship of the about any Pre-war European or American made premium sporting rifle displays extensive attention to fit, finish, and operational tuning that is rarely seen today unless produced by one of the Custom houses/gunsmiths. Having owned and hunted with a decent assortment of the Pre/post war, as well as modern versions of the CRF designs, were I to build a CRF rifle today , it would likely be based on a pre-64 Winchester Model 70 action. IMO, while there are several good CRF actions available, the pre-64 Model 70 action offers the best balance of modern design features, workmanship, parts availability, reliability, and cost. I still own several Pre-64's including a 300 H&H, 30-06, and a 458 Win African.
'My Pre 64, Model 70 Supergrade in 30-06 that has given me a lifetime of solid performance. Still shoots sub MOA with factory ammo. I have never experienced a failure to feed or malfunction with this rifle,..... or any of my other Pre-64's ...for that matter.
Just my experience.
