[QUOTE="406pat, post: 378165, member: 13575"] I haven't played with the Control Round Feed savage actions but if they're anything like the Mauser derivatives I'd stay away for a single shot. The reason is that most CRF actions are designed to be loaded from the mag and not one at a time. Most won't engage round UNLESS it comes from the mag. For you in the target action this would mean that every time you wanted to chamber a round you would have to remove the bolt, slide a round up onto the bolt face and then replace the bolt. Getting a fired case out would be the same process in reverse, as the ejector is separate from the bolthead on a CRF (unlike the plunger on the push feed) so it wouldn't spit out cases unless you modified the receiver. I believe this is the one I used when converting a .270 to .300 RUM I used a long action for mine. Not sure why this couldn't be used on a short action bolt but I haven't looked into the specifics of it either.
