The problem I have experienced with my Model 700 PF is not in the push feeding but the extraction. I have replaced 2 extractors. One on a 222 and one on a 22-250. When the 22-250 broke another one, they both went in for Sako style.
On the other side, I have a 700 in 270 that has had thousands of rounds through it, currently on it's second barrel. Never had to replace that extractor.
