[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 2918657, member: 8394"] Lots of time this fall sitting around waiting a squall to pass, this neck of the woods means hrs and hrs of talk of guns with friends. We have had a rather lively debate on the necessity (or lack there of) for crf in dangerous game rifles. The prevailing wisdom (passed down from gun rags of old) being a dangerous game rifle is best suited to be of a crf variety. One of my most hard-core hunting friends is of that notion, only packing kimber 84, win 70s, and some ruger 77s afield. Between myself and 4 other friends we can't remember a time where a single modern push feed has ever let us down. All of us fall in the gun looney category, owning way more rifles than necessary but couldn't for the life of us remember dropping a round in time of need. Conundrum is this, my old 375 is driving me nuts again and I'd like to build another nearly identical but without a pawn shop savage as it's base. Rifle will be carried April to November, 95% bear protection 5% hunting essentially. Big question is build it off a crf or just easy button and use 700 clone like a mack bros? Social convention or at least traditional wisdom is control round feed, but empirically I can't fully reinforce that. 70s are getting hard to work on or stock the way I like, same for the 77. That leaves the 700 crfs that are often a fair bit heavier than push feed options. What would you do if you wandered around Alaska, would you not hesitate to push feed or are you going crf? [/QUOTE]
