[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1442782, member: 10291"] The only case where I have purposely chose CRF actions were my bolt rifles used for African dangerous game, a 98 Mauser action 375H&H, and a pre 64 Model 70 458WM. It offers insurance against a short stroke, the additional surface area of the non-rotating extractor on the rim of the case(particularly with possible high pressure in the hot climate), and the ability to feed from from a non-upright position. That being said, the only critical failure I have seen with either action was during a Cape Buffalo hunt in Botswana back in the 80’s when a hunter experienced a broken extractor on a follow up shot with his 98 Mauser.
