You see all the know-nothings say that PF cannot feed upside down (not true), that PF extractors break (has nothing to do with the PF design), that PF bolt handles break off (same thing), and similar ridiculous things.

I've killed four species of DG in Africa with a push feed action, Several required fast feeding. All with a PF action. The only failure-to-feed was in Wyoming with a Model 98 action.




How about the 1903 Springfield, 1917 Enfield and 303 SMLE ?
They all were CRF, for very good reasons ! The problem was not mechanical, but human foibles

Anyone who claims the 30-06 is not effective has either not used one, or else is unwittingly commenting on their marksmanship.
