I own a new Sako Model 85 Stainless Synthetic in 375H&H.
Explain to me why a bolt action rifle in which the bolt holds the cartridge while feeding it into the chamber - is not a "controlled feed" action.
Mine seems to be damn controlled while feeding - whether it is right-side up, right side-right, right-side left - even upside-down.
And every other angle in between - including barrel up and barrel down.
As a matter of fact - I can't seem to make mine NOT feed smoothly and flawlessly.
I guess mine must be a one-off.
I must be lucky.
