[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 845325, member: 5302"] A pro hunter in South Africa mentioned to me some years ago that the Winchester 70's and the big Magnum Mauser actions were the most reliable feeding big rounds from box magazines. He'd seen Reminton actions jam or have bolt overrides with big cases but zero problems with the Winchesters or big Mauser actions. In rapid fire matches shot here in the USA, the Win. 70's have proved the most reliable compared to any other USA made internal box magazine rifle. Decades ago, when M1903 Springfields and M1917 Enfield actions were used in such events, the M1903 proved the most reliable. Note the M1903 was designed with Mauser 98 features after royalties were paid to Mauser Werks to use them. When both were the basis for commercial rifle action designs, the M1917 was the foundation for the Remington model 720 and later the 721, 722 and 700 actions. The M1903 was the design base for the Winchester model 54 and later the model 70. [/QUOTE]
