[QUOTE="Unofficial Gun Addict (UGA), post: 1016333, member: 81139"] This is from chuck Hawks... "Controlled feeding" means the cartridge is captured by the extractor as it is stripped from the magazine and held against the bolt face all the way into the chamber as the bolt runs forward. During the feeding cycle, the cartridge is always held by (first) the magazine lips and then by the extractor; it is never loose. That is the "controlled" in controlled feed. Examples of classic controlled feed actions include pre-1964 Winchester Model 70's, Husqvarna HVA, Mauser's Model 98 (and its clones) and the Mannlicher-Schoenauer. Examples of contemporary controlled feed actions include the CZ 550, Kimber Models 84/8400, Ruger Model 77 Hawkeye and all current Winchester Model 70's." [/QUOTE]
