controled round feed?
 

did any of you know that all of the savage wsm's were controled round feed?

RE: controled round feed?
 

Uhm, yeah.

Along with Remington, Sako, Tikka, Browning,some Winchesters, Marlin, Mossberg, and a number of other great rifles.

EDIT: OOPS, I read that wrong. [8D]I don't know of any savages that are CRF, WSM's or othewise. All are push feed.

RE: controled round feed?
 

Savage and remington are pushfeed.

i just bought one the other day savage 14 classic definately notpush feed

RE: controled round feed?
 

Sorry, no disrespect but you are wrong, I just sold a 114 classic, pushfeed, owned several other savage bolt guns. The model 10 design is a pushfeed bolt. A "controlled round feed" extractor claw, grabs the rim as soon as it comes in contact w/the cartrige, a "pushfeed" simply pushes the cartrige foward, from the magazine and the extractor doesnt grab the rim until fully chambered.

I just went to the savage site and no mention of a different bolt design for wsms .

If your rifle has no full length extractor claw, along the side of the bolt body, like a mauser or winchester, it is not CRF.

It seems that the WSM and the Ultra mags (When they made them) are controlled round feed to me. I have been looking into a build off the Savageaction and that is my impression. This link seems to also indicate CRF.

Well Ill be damned, I guess IM wrong, that must be something new. Never even heard that mentioned on savage shooters forum. All savages Ive owned had a pushfeed bolt design , looks like they added a full length extractor claw. Dont know why they changed it for WSMs but I guess you learn somthing everyday.

RE: controled round feed?
 

Guess I's wrong too. I have never seenor heard of one. Is this something current / new or from years gone by?

RE: controled round feed?
 

it is curent because the gun shop just got it in from accusporrt before i bought it

RE: controled round feed?
 

Actually the savage has had out a controlled round feed for several years. I remembering reading an article about that by Jon Sundra several years ago. He was commiting about the engineering that it took to make a crf from a fabricated bolt.

RE: controled round feed?
 

I was actually a fan of the savage push feed bolt, easy to take apart and clean and service. Nice beefy locking lugs too.

RE: controled round feed?
 

Damn if I seem to pay attention any more.

I have a 14 classic sitting on the shelf right behind me that is a CRF 300WSM.

RE: controled round feed?
 

Personally, I would not pay extra for controlled round feed! Unless you are hunting dangerous game or hanging upside down while shooting, push feed will serve you just as well! I know that Winchester did other cost cutting measures that hurt the M-70 in 1964, but the hype over cutting the "claw extractor" and replacing it with a push feed model nearly ruined them! Remington on the other hand, always used the push feed bolt and the M-700 is still a best seller!

RE: controled round feed?
 

you wont pay much more i only paid 500 for my 14 300 wsm

RE: controled round feed?
 

I didn't know for sure but since I don't care about whether it's push feed or crf, and darned sure don't care about savage rifles, it's news to me.
