Teat HoundED Brown's CRF action - opinions
Hey Men,
What are you're opinions of
Ed Brown's new type of CRF actions? I have seen an article or two regarding his "704" actions, but would like your thoughts.
Thanks,

SnellstromI'd be curious about the asking price for these actions?
I like the bolt release
I like the floorplate release
And of course you gotta love the Win M70 safety
Bottom metal looks good
I don't particularly like fluting on the bolt but I don't hate it
I wish the recoil lug was integral rather than an add on type I don't like the added on look.
Some folks won't admit that it is a real controlled feed cuz the "claw" is missing!
Overall I like it well enough.
But you probably wanted to hear from someone that has one rather than an opinion based on looking at a picture!

Roland1I don’t have one of their CRF, however I have an Ed Brown .375 H&H with a pushfeed action, from all of my custom guns it is one of my preferred rifles, very accurate, well balanced and never had a feeding problem, exceptionally smooth. Another important factor you do not have to wait a long time to receive your rifle more or less 12 weeks. They make an excellent American product.
Good luck,
Roland

boltmanLooks like one of the winchester CRPF actions without the integral recoil lug. Also bears a striking resemblence to the savage CRF action. I'm sure it's a bit better finished than either, but all in all it doesn't interest me in the least.

I don't like fluted bolts- maybe they would hold one out unfluted if you asked them when ordering.

SnowwolfeI dunno. Seems like he just wanted to create something just for the sake of doing it. I am certaintly not a gunsmith but it looks flimsy.

Yeah, looks like he "borrowed" a lot from Winchester's Controlled Round Push Feed action. I like it when people give credit where credit is due.

U.S. Repeating Arms Company Introduces Controlled Round Push Feed (CRPF).
January 1, 2003
Morgan, UT – “The best of both worldsâ€. That is the way the new Winchester Model 70 controlled round push feed system is being described. This innovative design lets the bolt face control the cartridge from magazine to chamber, but with a push feed style built-in, bolt face extractor. Utilizing a blade type ejector, the shooter controls the amount of ejection by the speed the bolt is worked. No matter if you cycle shells from the magazine or load one at a time, the base of the cartridge is quickly captivated and securely directed to the chamber. Available in the following models.
• Super Shadow in all WSM and WSSM calibers. Suggested Retail $543
• Coyote in all WSM and WSSM calibers. Suggested Retail $734

You know, I had forgotten about Winchester's CRPF. They do seem alike now that you mention it.
