Hammer,I may be just showing my ignorance here but to the best of my knowledge that term is primarily designated for the turn bolt design. R/e=Controlled feed with external extractor,i.e. M-98,Ruger M 77,etc.Push feed=Rem. 700,etc.I have believed this for years but if someone knows differently,I'd be interested to know. Never mistake motion for action. | |||

Sure, you use your fingers to feed it, you know, fingernails are the claw. I would focus on positive extraction here! | |||

Hammer it depends. if you use just your thumb it is a push feed if you use your thumb and fore finger it is a control feed. If you wish to detrermine if the rifle is ok for a DGR drink six beers and hang upside down from a swing set to determine if feed is positive. I am sorry I just could not help myself.

I was going to send this thread to the single-shot forum, but J D's post was too funny to let it go.  George  | |||
