The push feed of the 700 did not bother me in the least. It was the water getting caught inside the enclosed trigger then freezing. We all have different experiences. I wouldn’t hesitate to use a 700 when hunting the interior. But never again on the coastal areas when the rifle is exposed to a lot of moisture and sub freezing temperatures.
I have spent an awful lot of time around Kodiak with 700s and have never had a trigger icing issue.
Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.
