[QUOTE="LRNut, post: 2168437, member: 3230"] Did you mean to say "If I'm going after dangerous game controlled feed all the way for me."? I have shot just about every species of dangerous game on the planet that you can hunt, the notable exception being rhino. I have done it with push feed and controlled feed rifles; never had an issue with any of them. Saeed al-Maktoum has shot well over 200 Cape buffalo as well as a pile of other dangerous game in Africa, and done it with a Rem 700. Weather in AK is very hard on gear; I would focus more on the trigger than the action. Get a trigger that is reliable. If you use a 700 type trigger, don't adjust it too light or you may find your rifle won't fire due to sand/rust. Happened to me on a brown bear hunt SW of Port Alsworth (rifle was rained on for two solid days) and a caribou on the Kobuk River (fine grit was blowing all over, but could have been rust as well). I was able to fix each one because I brought tools that allowed me to do so. [/QUOTE]
