Mid-range rifles....

Lol, my next custom, a wildcat 22 cal, will be on a push feed action, I see the pros and cons of both styles. To be honest, I want at least one of everything in every cartridge ever made....

Yes, it seems like there is no end to it ?
Having had and have many examples of both, I have to that I'd rather have a push feed that works than a CRF that jams..

I have to point out that the method you would adopt is unfair. Comparing a push feed that works with a CRF that james cannot help you or anyone make a point.

In 40 + years of shooting/hunting I have only had one bolt action rifle jam a round on me it was CRF.

I use mostly push feed bolt action rifles now.
 
They both have pros and cons. To me it makes no difference. I have both and never had an issue with either type. I think the crf is a more classy look and deserves nice wood and case colors whereas most push feeds commonly found are budget rifles that can be basterdized in any shape or form. Yes I know there are some gorgeous and expensive push feeds. But when I look at my bolt rifles well. Most savage rifles aren't pretty
 
Ok, I read the op, and all the posts up to here. I'll say it, buy a T3. You want a 300 win, capable of 1/2moa, 6.5lbs. You can stock it however you want due to the price. I have many T3's, but my 300 is my current fave hunting rifle. It's a blued T3 lite I bought used in a Boyd's laminate. Scoped with a Conquest 3-9, not 6.5lbs anymore :) but that's ok. It's very comfortable to shoot from any position due to the extra weight. Right around 8lbs all up. Lots of stock options now for these puppies, as well as quite a few options on bolt shrouds, bolt handles, and also bottom metal if so desired. Haven't seen a T3 that didn't shoot, although same can be said for lots of others I suppose.

The whatever will you do when one of your push feeds jams?.... Give up on the "unreliable" bolt action altogether?

WOW SB you have a vivid imagination where did you get I don't have or use CRF rifles or that I gave up on them?

but to answer your question I'm into lightweight short barreled single shots now chambered in rounds from 204 Ruger to 375H&H/45-70.
 
Also a bit of talk how the fierce is basically a Sako, can't the same pretty much be said for the HS, being a 700. Sorry if I'm wrong on this, but my limited knowledge on the HS, I always thought they were a trued up 700 with an accuracy guarantee and the ones I saw were fairly heavy. Final vote for me T3 done up by yourself with whatever glass floats your boat, or a 700 done up by a good smith, DRS perhaps. Of course when it finally happens we will all need pics and results.
 
I think I am going rebarrel and restock a Model 7 I have kicking around. Maybe have it ceracoated too. It will be a bit lighter chambering but it will do for now. Probably a 6.5x47 Lapua. I just bought a Valentine's Day gift with my new rifle money.
