[QUOTE="highdrum, post: 1675581, member: 13732"] The origin action actually is a CRF style bolt, yeah no mause claw extractor, but the rim is designed to slip up under/into the bolt face as the case is stripped from magazine. A 30° shoulder angle isn't sharp, 90% new cases designed since 1990 all have 30-35° shoulder. The saum case is a great design and I think Remington would still sell a lot of they'd kept it around and adopted the 6.5 version. I have a 6.5 and 257 saum, they all perform very well, efficient, accurate and moderate recoil. If you have the twist for it, try running the new 156 Berger, no doubt it will carry a ton of energy and should pass through for blood trail if needed. [/QUOTE]
