Yeah, I'm a fan, especially of the Mark II and later actions. I like the CRF (though my tang safety models with the dreaded plunger ejectors have not failed me either), really like the safety that physically blocks the striker, like the Mark II trigger (easy to stone down, simple, no crud can accumulate a la Model 70 old trigger). Mine shoot great, especially the later ones, though my '73 model Swift is superb. And the receiver/scope ring design is elegant simplcity at its finest - positively the best there is (oh, and the rings I have put on/off, have always returned to zero - great for pre-zeroing a spare scope in separate rings for an important hunt).

Wish they continued the Express models; they were the cream of the crop.

This fear of cast receivers is pure swamp gas...after 40 years, where are the failures?
