My thoughts exactlyI don’t think you realize the type of question you just asked…

Not true for all CRF actions....a Rem M700 will get you killed long before you "drop one in the chamber"....Love my DG Mauser Action in 416.
That said, one thing I don't like about the CRF actions (but I truly like in Rem 700 action...) is that - cornered - you can't just drop one in the chamber, close, and shot
So my bet obviously is for my pet Rigby, but still I think is not " 100% perfect"
Lets hope, nobody mentions word "push feed".I don’t think you realize the type of question you just asked…

If the extractor on a Mauser 98 actioned rifle is beveled (by an experienced gunsmith), then it will allow you to snap the extractor directly over a cartridge in the chamber. The new Winchester Model 70 Safari Express is a good example.Love my DG Mauser Action in 416.

Gee whiz, was just going to say, Post '64 model 70 Winchester! Push feed actions are often maligned for no good reason.Lets hope, nobody mentions word "push feed".
So far we had peace and quiet on this front, since last debate involving blaser! (ups)

Are you aware that when Remington was developing the 700 action, that they ran tests between the Mauser and the 700 extractor and the Mauser failed first?If the extractor on a Mauser 98 actioned rifle is beveled (by an experienced gunsmith), then it will allow you to snap the extractor directly over a cartridge in the chamber.

Remington Model 700s are poorly suited for dangerous game. Unless you have an experienced gunsmith fit it with an M-16 extractor.
What tests and what failures?Gee whiz, was just going to say, Post '64 model 70 Winchester! Push feed actions are often maligned for no good reason.
