If there was a rifle I could hate, this would be it. Stocked a herd of deer, stood there, watching the deer as I chambered a round at the waiste. Laid up my shot...squeezed the trigger and....click! Deer looked at me and ran. The 308 cartridge was on the ground at my feet. Push feed dropped the cartridge on the ground instead of into the chamber, seems I had the rifle kilted enough. Two days later, rifle sold. I'd stick to claw design.
 
Too bad about the error (s**tte happens) but you can't blame the push feed design. There are too many folks who use the handy 600/660's with complete satisfaction. I short stroked a SMLE .303 and had a fail-to-feed that cost me a moose once, but it wasn't the rifle's fault :redface:
 
You're kidding right????.............A person doing the wrong things can jam any firearm. Doesn't matter if it's control round feed, or push feed..............That's a problem with the operator, not the gun.

Operator error, no question. The 600/660 rifles are very dependable just as any other Remington pushfeed design. 'Fess up, you screwed up! Eagleye.
 
Bet that was frustrating.

Good choice, stick to the Control Round Feed and you won't have to worry about this problem again. Situations are always different and even though I have never had a problem with a Push Feed, I do like the little extra security the Control Round Feeds add.
 
Let's see, in the situation described, he would have to push the round down under the side rails so that the bolt would pick it up; just as much room for error! Controlled round is arguably more reliable when feeding a round already in the rifle, but for single feeding an empty rifle, there is actually more to go wrong!

Actually if one has a slight bevel ground into the extractor face you could single feed a CRF off the follower without a problem, so in a sense you could treat it as a push feed in that way.
But why bother, it takes no longer to push it under the rails. I have a bunch of push feeds but I usually hunt with a CRF.
Give me a CRF any time over a push feed.

Funny thing is this year I double strocked my rifle while trying to shoot at a running moose, good thing I didn't have a push feed, that moose would stoll be running!

I could be wrong but my understanding was that there was cartridges already in the magazine and he brought the bolt back to chamber a round. Just the way I read it?
