[QUOTE="Paparock, post: 1527287, member: 106235"] I know thousands of people hunt successfully with "push feed" rifles and even many guides use them. Each to there own as there hide if on the line in the rare occasion something goes wrong. I however I am a firm believer in "Murphy's Law" especially when hunting anything that can bite you or hunt you back. So since I was a kid while hunting anything from wild hogs up I have only used "controlled round" feed rifles like my grandfathers old 03A3 .30-06. Now even a "controlled round" feed is not perfect so I usually have mine custom tuned to try to eliminate as many possibilities of failures as possible by an experienced gunsmith with years of experience. You know failures will happen at the worst time possible in my experience so it pays to try to eliminate them before hand. You know what the worst sound in the bush you can hear is? Click; when you need to hear BOOM in a life and death situation! When staring down a P.O.ed animal you have wounded intent on pay back is not the time to wish you had spent that extra money to make sure your rifle was as "bulletproof" as possible before your hunt!
