I was just reading my new petersons and there was review on a ruger guide rifle and the author wrote controlled feeding. I have several rugers and not a one is controlled they are push feed and have a claw extractor. Just because it has a claw extractor doesn't make it a mauser. I don't think people know what controlled feed actually is. Maybe ruger has changed their bolts since all the old tang safeties I've got. I don't know?
Why do people insist rugers are crf?

The old tang safety ones were push feed plunger ejector. The middle ones were push feed fixed ejector claw extractor. The new ones are CRF fixed ejector claw extractor.
Yep, though if you want to be pedantic, I have heard some people claim that the action in the Gunsite Scout functions more as a push feed than a CRF at first due to the claw not interacting with the case as a typical Mauser 98 would. I have not confirmed this with mine though since I haven't had the opportunity to really test it out.

I just insist they are great rifles.
Own two and have another two on the "want list"

The earlier 77 MKII are not CRF. Supposedly the newer production was changed at some point.
Just guessing, if the bolt face has a raised rim all the way around, it's not CRF.
That's what my 77MKII All Weather Stainless has.

Iv got one of the crossover rifles too, its a lefty in 270. Bought it new in 1989-1990. Shot lots of game with it, has a crooked receiver and fat chamber a sorry ass piece of gun building, but it never has jammed and shoots ok after being bedded multiple times to get the right amount of flex in the action. Broke one walnut stock now it sits in a laminate.
I actually prefer the older tang safety versions. I find the stock a little trimmer and nicer feeling. I still like the MK II and the Hawkeye, just prefer the older ones better. Never needed a CRF for hunting whitetails and moose either.

Just found the receipt was August 15 1991 and cost $489.95
Yep RoA, that sounds like the Rugers of the late 80s, early 90s alright. A buddy of mine had a Ruger 7X57 back then and another buddy had a Bevan King built 7X57 AI on a 700 action and the Ruger would ALMOST chamber the fired Imp cases, when you looked at the 2 fired cases side by side the Ruger case was actually much bigger at the web with a significant bulge just ahead of the web and was still nearly as fat as the AI case at the shoulder, I think the only reason it wouldn't fully chamber was because of the slightly longer body on the AI, it certainly wasn't because of diameter!!!
