If you have a none CRT rifle, in most cases it will not reliable feed while cycling the action, lying on your back.
There's a reason why CRF's are preferred for dangerous game.
Ya. I have more problems with crf feeding. All the pushers work with less hassle. I tried my mkv 460 while hanging upside down below my bear stand once. Was fine. But seriouslyNot a CRF vs. Push Feed debate again...

In that discussion they all lose to semi auto.If you have a none CRT rifle, in most cases it will not reliable feed while cycling the action, lying on your back.

It's valid, unfortunatly, over time, fewer and fewer even know what they are and how they work. I was exposed early, which is why I have and still do have many Controlled Feed Rifles. Most, but not all built by Mauser.Not a CRF vs. Push Feed debate again...
Until you get a jam or a rifle full of dirt.In that discussion they all lose to semi auto.
If I have a bolt rifle, and there's a grizzly charging me, he ain't getting no warning shot. Neither will he if I have a 3 round semi such as a BAR.
Even a full auto rifle has a purpose in the bush for grizzly defence.

There are guys here that say CRF rifles are āclunkyā when feeding compared to a push feed. That tells me they have zero experience with good rifles.It's valid, unfortunatly, over time, fewer and fewer even know what they are and how they work. I was exposed early, which is why I have and still do have many Controlled Feed Rifles. Most, but not all built by Mauser.
Last thing I want is rabies, it was close range and those things are vicious. I think I was all of 5yrd when it all went down suddenly.Ammo is worth more than the hides on those two... Actually, so is .22 RF.
Of course the semi auto has to be reliable.Until you get a jam or a rifle full of dirt.
I have actually seen this type of thing before, back in about 1975:Last thing I want is rabies, it was close range and those things are vicious. I think I was all of 5yrd when it all went down suddenly.
Your choice.Of course the semi auto has to be reliable.
I trust a semi automatic to cycle more reliably than I trust myself to cycle a bolt action under the stress of being charged by a grizzly.
