Looks like it. Is that a double-stack magazine, with centered first round?

What action is that?

G'Day Fella's,

Yes it's Savages version of "Controlled Round Feed"!
IIRC, it was only available on some models, in the past?

Hope that helps

Doh!

That was the bolt head that Savage used for the Ultra Mag cartridges and also in a line of rifles that they marketed as express guns for dangerous game in .338 Win, .375 H&H and 458 Win. You can get them and retrofit any Savage with them ( check headspace if you change the bolt head).

The design helps allow a longer cartridge without cutting back the bolt stop. It provides controlled round feeding as well. I had one in .375 and it worked OK. Had to keep it clean or the extractor would hang up.

That action is now a 7mm STW.

This is CRF; not push (uncontrolled) feed. Don't let the extractor fool you; doesn't have to be a claw to be controlled.

He says "push" because the extractor would work on a chambered round just like a pushfeed...

So will most claw extractors, Mausers being about the only exception and some of them will close over a chambered round too. Win M70s, Springfields, Enfields, are designed to close on a chambered round.

It's a Savage 16 300 WSM.

That rear receiver bridge appears absurdly thick.

Looks to be CRF. I might be mistaken but only push-feed types have a full collar around the bolt face, CRF's are open at the bottom like yours to allow the case to 'come up' under the extractor. Here is a push feed.

I have an FN Mauser chambered in 22/250Rem (built from a commercial action) single shot that the claw extractor has to jump the case rim to close. I would almost rather have a push feed for this application because the bolt is a little hard to close.

That's right; the 98 Mauser was not designed to snap over a cartridge rim, although some will.

G'Day Fella's,

The thing some of you are missing on this Savage action, is the retractable Standing Ejector!
You can't have a controlled round feed action in conjunction with a Plunger Ejector!

Doh!
