At the risk of trotting out the same old argument, IMHO a DGR (dangerous game rifle) should have controlled round feeding (a la M70 or M98), although admittedly less of an issue with a DRR (dangerous rock rifle)!
I agree with the above, but have done numerous hunts for DG in Africa with push-feed --NO problems..ironically, of the 3 cases I am personally aware of where there was an issue, they were controlled round feed..wierd I know as I do plan to take a controlled round feed next time in my personal favorite caliber--the .416 Rem --I recently ordered a new Winchester "African" model which is a controlled round feed, pre-64 type action..suppose to arrive in late March or early April of this year..will let you know how it works..
