Good for you and your Ruger that works better than the original Mauser. Mine don't, and none of mine ever have. Every CFR Ruger I've ever owned had a questionable CRF feature. Ruger's version of controlled round feed is inconsistent AT BEST. And I'm not the only person that's ever notice it. Here's my Hawkeye African:

How fkn " controlled round" do you need?


Better than Ruger can provide. Maybe your fatter bullets help. I'd send it back to Ruger, but since every M77/Hawkeye I've ever had (.30-06, .308, .270 and 6.5X55) acted exactly the same way, I figure its just a feature.

Here's the way its supposed to work. I've got 4 M70s (.270, .308, .30-06 & .300 WM) and they all work exactly this way.
