Anybody got one? How well does the the controlled feed work? Any problems? Is gun worth money?

I like the Sako 75's better.

+1 WTH were they thinking with the recoil lug on the new 85 ..rifle is nice on the outside and has a nice feature..-socalled locking magazine release ??????? I took out a 75 yesterday and wacked it and dropped it on the floor and about anything you can do with a rifle except hit it with a claw hammer and that magzine didn't move..THE CRF is not a true CRF and cannot emulate the kind found on a winchester or mauser etc. The recoil lug is a definite turnoff and enough to make me not want one. I think they brought out the crf feature just because they wanted to sell guns to Winchester people.

One thing Ilike about ya OEH..you call em like ya see em...lol. No favorites with any company! You shoulda been a gun reviewer for the magazines.

WTH is the recoil lug? I have seen pictures of one, not sure what or why???

Well oddly enough the CRF is what I was interested in. My real reason for the post was that after looking at a picture of the bolt face I was concerned about the CRF, it just looked henkey it is a big name maker.

I like the new 85, even better than my 75's. I have no issues with the new features. I plan on gettin one soon.

You have a few choices if you want a true crf..used FN mauser,Browning safari new CZ550,Remington 798 or any other number of boutique mausers that are out there. If your wanting a ferrari you don't get a turbocharged chevy nova and expect the same. Same applies to rifles

Yep I call them as I see them and I doubt any magazine would hire me as a reviewer. It would cut too much into gun company profits.

just get a couple of t3 for the same money
