Going a bit tongue in cheek on that one PJ. Of course there's nothing wrong with a push feed, I just have this purist streak in me that like things to be in sync. This means that as the 7x57 and many like it were bred from Mauser ie; controlled round feed actions they feel more "right", but maybe that's just me. It was possibly inspired by that luverly looking rifle the Rev is caring for. By the way I can see great merit in that Ruger.
I understand completely. Note that when I had a custom built, it was on a 98 Mauser action. Nice 23" barrel and a European style stock with proper schnable as found on many German sporters of the pre-war era. Most of my rifles are on controlled feed actions and all my customs are on Mauser actions. I know what's good. Paul B.
