During PH qualifications testing at Rifa, Zimbabwe, the glaring deficiencies of the PF 700s, specifically in 416 Remingtons became readily apparent and with more than one rifle. When the bolt was cycled with the barrel at port arms or a higher (circa 90deg angle to the deck) with a full magazine, the next bullet in line tended to fall out. Also there were a few extractor issues as a result of the puny extractor. Then there's the issue of the safety. But yes the PF/CRF debate is a bit overblown. I love my PF Weatherbys and would have no issues hunting DG with one, but given a choice, I'll take a well tuned CRF anytime. And yes the MKIIs are CRFs. jorge
