I’ve had a bait station every Spring with the exception of 2019 for the past 4 years. For two years, I actually ran the bait station with some co-workers, not a one of them had a Mauser style bolt action, everyone was push feed. One guy runs a Browning or Savage 338 WM, another a Mossberg 375 Ruger, and another guy I know runs a 300 WM Tikka T3X. I myself ran a Rem 700 .300 WM until this year as I ran a Ruger Hawkeye .338WM. Even the other hunters I have talked to that run bait stations all had a push feed with Remington 700’s being the most popular. While I always read on forums that Mauser or any other CRF rifles are preferred, I’ve yet to hunt with someone other than my neighbor and myself that use a CRF rifle here, regardless of what game they are pursuing.
