The earlier comment about a Controlled Round Feed rifle was for fun to stir up the push feed boys. In the mountains on wilderness hunts, I do feel the CRF bolt action rifle is the most reliable choice.
Looks like it worked.
I'm with Smoke on this one. I hunt with a few CRF rifles and a few PFs. I'd take the fieldcraft over any model 70 I've ever met. Any mouser too.
So, now that this thread has achieved full derailment... OP, be sure to check in and post some pics of the training and the hunt. Sounds awesome.
