Interesting commentary on the military's almost exclusive use of controlled round feed. Maybe someone forgot to tell the US military about that. Many conflicts saw the issuance of Remington model 700s to the American sniper teams if I have my facts right and my memory is not too terribly flawed.

I too have no dog in this fight. I use 'em both and I've personally not experienced screw ups with either once I figured out how to operate each of them properly. Funny. The Sako TRG is a common choice for both military and police of many nations. It's got a great looking extractor but I'll be damned if I even know if it's push or CRF!! It never much occurred to me to look close enough to make that determination. Mine functions well and has yet to jam on me after much use. I guess i just don't care either way as long as a given rifle works reliably for me. The marketers (again those damn pushy loud slippery marketers) would have me believe that if it isn't CRF, my life is in imminent danger so I better dump my Weattherby DG rifles and all my other push feed rifles and go buy their newfangled rifle that by golly has CRF. Best trash all those Winchester model 70s sold for about four decades after 1964 while we're at it.

Now, I'm going back to the bar and continue my wait for my Heym (with CRF) to be built and delivered 😀
