[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 22160, member: 3"] Controlled round feed: The front of the bolt "captures" the round as it strips it from the magazine. This means that the round is not free to move around, fall out, or be left sitting in the action well when the bolt of moved to the rear before the round is fully chambered. A "push feed" system like the Rem 700 only strips the round off the magazine and pushes it into the chamber. The round is never "captured" and held by the bolt. In theory, a person could chamber a round with the rifle on it's side or upside down while using a controlled round feed system but not while using a push feed system. [/QUOTE]
