When I was shooting in South Africa in the late '90's, I asked some of the old timers who lived and hunted there about Winchester 70's, both controll feed pre '64;s and the later push feed post '64 actions as well as the Rem. 700 in large bore dangerous game rifles. They all said the pre '64 Winchesters and other Mauser style controlled feed actions were preferred by most. But the Remington' worst problems were extractors breaking and recoil lugs bending from the big bore calibers; they were not all that popular.
