Elmer keith who is my god and guru used to fart out siamese kittens if you mentioned push feed bolts. But then he also used to fart out badgers if you mentioned bolts for african game. You don't want to know what happened if you suggested that he should use noisy, brass tossing ejectors rather than nice, quiet extractors.

Elmer, my god and guru is an angry god and he is not to be messed with; this explains why remington went down in flames.

I do dislike that controlled feed must be taken from the magazine in some rifles, leaving you with one less capacity. Seriously, though, five rounds isn't enough in the rifle? I have never missed a first shot in this life or any of my previous ones.

Still have a preference for controlled feed for outdoors or hunting, range guns I actually like push fed. I don't have to load into the magazine to get the round into the chamber.

Maybe i'm wrong, but don't the europeans make more models in controlled feed than we do?
