Re: Control round feed or not?

I keep hearing the great bias for controlled round feed. Frankly, I can not see the advantage to it unless you are reloading when knocked to the ground or rolling or some other weird position you should not be in. I have rifles in both controlled feed and push feed and have never had a problem with either of them, as far a feeding goes. Then again, I load my own ammo and check for feed and function before heading out in the blue. For me, the position of the saftey and ability to get the gun ready to fire is of much more importance. Meaning-- I would rather have my push feed Ruger .458 with tang safety in a DG situation than my Winchester .470 Capstick or My Remington 700 in .375 H + H. The controlled feeding of the Winchester might be better if I get nailed, but I believe the ability to quickly and accurately place my first shot with the rifle that works best for me is of much greater usefullness. I find the saftey on the new Rugers, Model 70 and Remingtom 700's difficult to use quickly as second nature.
