I , for the most part, would have a positive feed by choice. But, after using my friend's Sako Safari Grade 375 on a hunt, I had to have one...push feed or not!

I saved my zukes and found one, complete with Novocain for the Vaseline (OUCH!).

At first, I thought I had made a mistake, when it didn't seem to feed from a full magazine.

Then I remembered that when using my buddy's, I was hunting and working the bolt like a man, not a limp wrist...

I now love the rifle...push feed and all...and will be using it for plains game and bigger N. American critters. I have to admit that I never feel as comfortable with it as I do my Ruger 416, however, when bite N stompers are the quarry.

Next stop is a DR in 500/416...a Searcy...no feed problems there.
