People have their own opinions. Granted I think he should explain himself. But that part shouldn't bother you.

Myself, if I was getting a mauser, I'd want the control feed. Not that I am hunting dangerous game. But I am interested in the reliability of it. The mauser safety is a little loud for me. Though users tell me to just use to hands or two fingers. Not happy with the noise 700 safetys make either. But I do like the position.
