The push feed is basically the same as Remingtons and other brands!
When Winchester replaced their "claw extractor" in '64 many people turned against Winchester. The "claw" is considered better than a "push feed", and it is in cases where dangerous game is concerned. However, I don't know why changing to the push feed design was an "unforgivable sin" on Winchester, when the Remington's never had a claw extractor!
