[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1527529, member: 69192"] Hello Paparock, I am not trying to sell one particular rifle or feed system over another, I believe that both systems have their pluses and minuses. The poster seemed to be seeking some information. I read a lot about bullet design and bullets that [U][I]"ought"[/I][/U] to get the job done. I prefer as you have stated to "make sure that the rifle is bulletproof!!" Also another reply was not to use a tack hammer when you need a sledgehammer. I took a lesson from this hunter who ran into a problem with a small (push feed) extractor. My arsenal is primarily Rugers because I prefer that wide, mauser/claw extractor for its ability to get the expended round out of the chamber to make room for the next one. This particular hunter who I wrote about is young, agile and very strong. I could see him really ripping at that bolt to get the next shot into the chamber, when that bear was upon him, and tearing the extractor right through the rim of the case. Again when dealing with something that can and will hurt you or worst it is always wise to keep Murphy's law in mind [/QUOTE]
