[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 903495, member: 17844"] Every action design has it's uses . In a single shot you would not want a controlled round feed type extractor . Being able to drop a round in and close the bolt with ease is a good thing in this regard. I modify my mauser extractors to be able to clip over a case rim more easily if it becomes necessary to drop a single round in . It's handy to have on a long range rifle as you are firing slow well aimed shots but I don't do it very often as it's risky . I prefer a push feed action for precision slow rate of fire type shooting , Sniper , target , varmint , long range work . For stalking game where you may want to crank off a few shots quickly a CRF can be good but a push feed like a Sako is also very effective . There is another issue and that is the CRF extractor is more prone to jamming cases over against the side of the chamber and causing off center fire forming. Push feed is less prone to this .
