One of the most argued topics when it comes to bolt action rifles is whether the control round feed (CRF) action is better than the push feed (PF) action. This is an especially hot topic when it comes to dangerous game hunting—many swear that only a fool would hunt dangerous game with a push feed action. I cover these actions thoroughly in my book The Scout Rifle Study, and there have been a lot of articles written about the topic. John Barsness also talks about them in his book, Obsessions of a Rifle Loony.
However, sometimes a video is more illustrative. As for me, I prefer an action that is made right—regardless of whether it is CRF or PF, and the only rifles I’ve hunted dangerous game with are lever guns, a double rifle, and a CRF rifle. The lever guns were my choice, the others were rifles I was testing. For what it’s worth, I do not own a rifle with a CRF action because I trust the PF actions I do own. Hopefully this video will give you a better understanding of DRF actions.
