I'm a rare survivor of PF rifles.

truthfully I have been lucky, not crazy about how Rem attaches their bolt handles (though mine have stayed on) but I've never had a hitch feeding quite a few rounds through both a 7 mag and a .338 in PF mode.

and that from a guy that used to haul that rifle through some pretty extreme weather about 100 miles give or take, north of Dillingham for 4-6 weeks at a time.

but I got too old and left it to the whippersnappers like Shoemaker.

btw Phil how'd you guys fair on weather this year? Talked to Henry Tiffany the other day and he got hosed by weather this year, both during sheep and moose season. don't know if he had any hunts in Cold Bay this year, forgot to ask him.

I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.
