Sometimes when a client inspects one of my model 70 push feeds, he will have a look on his face like he is handling a turd. I have these rifles in .30-06 and .270 and they shoot under 2 inch groups at 200 meters day in and day out. I find them to be MORE accurate than the claw extractor model Winchester. Fine hunting rifles.

John,
Remind the client that he/she could have brought their own rifle, but chose the convenience of using a 'house rifle'.

I always have to bring my own guns because I am a lefty.

Because they are dumbasses. Every deer I've killed died by being shot with push feed rifles, either a Howa or a Sako.

When US military weapons have a controlled round feed extractor, I will consider one important.

...i would think that cfr would be relevant/required only in the case of hunting dg, and superfluous in all other cases...

what's more dangerous?
a dumb animal that is running at you
or a number of enemy with automatic rifles shooting 125grn 30cal bullets?
stupid argument!
either the weapon works or it doesn't

I've used push feeds for most of my hunting. I've been to Africa 3 times, and the PH's had as many push feeds as CRF.

My sentiments exactly, and don't forget...controlled round feeders fail as well. Is somebody out there trying to tell us that a Winchester, Ruger or CZ CRF is more reliable for DG than a SAKO? Reliability is a 60 degree bolt throw mated with cock on close...this even works for the most excited, least coordinated homo sapiens on the planet. CRF is an afterthought.
