I have been looking to purchase a new rifle, I like the Mauser style action with the controlled round feed. What other make of rifle offer this?
I'm pretty sure Heyms are push feeds.
Why are afficionados so obssessed with controlled feed? I see its merits in a battle rifle or a dangerous game rifle, but in a stalking rifle, it really seems like a bit of an affectation.
was a fan, am a fan
but........
when you try to put one up the spout with a stag 60 yds away....... and use your thumb to quieten the mag release of the round ...........and it slips off the extractor claw
,,,,,,,,and into the chamber
.............and stops you closing the bolt because the claw doesn't ride over the rim like a push feed
...and you then spend 5 minutes tapping, hooking, smacking, thumping with increasing frustration to get the b@stard out.......
.........at that moment you wish you had a push feed!
no babying.
they like positive chambering
not great in silent CQC situations!
Heym was not CRF. At least not the one I had. (SR21)

Actually the Mauser extractor can be modified to allow it to slip over the rim of a cartridge so chambered.
Oddly enough this is not a new idea or concept either.
