True...they feed because they were built to do so.

With rifles for BG hunting, I worry most about two things....maintenance of zero,and flawless function.

I worry less about grouping because that is easy to get...just use good barrels and bed properly.But function under all conditions is not so easy..

..and that is one thing I notice between "old" and "new" guns...ever pick up a M94, or M71, or M12,or a Savage 99 that didn't "work"? Mostly, they don't exist,because knomes with files made sure they did work...it was just in the DNA of gunbuilders in the bygone days,because people looked at guns like they were tools and tools were supposed to work.This is sometimes missing in some manufacturing today.

People shot food and dangerous animals with Winchesters,old Remingtons and Savages.

Today, urban cowboys want to know how small the groups are,and admire the CNC machining...and if it feeds from the confines of an enclosed deer blind, they think it's great...




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
