RE: What's so special about Win's "Push feed" bolt?
Well if we are beating up push feeds lets compare Remingtons with Winchester's. Triggers on both are adjustable for good pulls. Safeties, Remingtons blocks the trigger and Winchester's locks the firing pin, Bolt releases Remington's is part of the do everything trigger mechanism and winchester's has but one duty. Never have I had a failure with any of the three from a Winchester. Remington"s 700 on the other hand has offered me stuck bolt release problems, a totally untrustworthy safety and a trigger that can easily go out of adjustment especially the overtravel adjustment.
Since somehow the argument has turned into a push feed against CRF battle I submit the two are equal in reliability if fed good ammo. If you are going after anything dangerous and rely on some legendary reputation instead of proper maintenance then the joke is on you.
