I would consider a push feed in a smaller calibre. Having said that all my serious bolt actions are Mauser controlled feeds.

This comes about as I once owned a Winchester featherweight in .30-06. Its accuracy was crap. But I had two incidents with it. One time the bullet was too far out a little and got pulled out of the case spilling powder through the chamber and action. It took a fair while to clean it so the action would function again. I thought then, what would have happened if I had a nice stag in front of me and it got away.

The second incident was the bolt jammed shut and cocked with a loaded round in the chamber. the bolt was partially open and the safety was also jammed off. I couldn't get it to open by any means and in the end had to drive the rifle 80 kms to a gunsmith. I had the rifle in the boot of the car with a large very thick block of wood and a steel plate behind that in case it went off.

Decided enough was enough and sold it off at a loss.

But I would consider something like a Sauer 202 Takedown in upt o .375 (probably 9.3x64). Because it is a takedown. Over that only CRF.

If it was a 'standard' configuration rifle why would anyone consider anything but a controlled feed bolt M98?
