I have literally had to double check whether a cartridge has fed or not, 'cause I never felt it. And yes, it has always fed. Trigger is fantastic as well. Democracy is not freedom.

I can shoot the long heavies without losing powder capacity and still fit the mag box. The Remington is too short to get all the goody from a WSM case, IMO...BTDT. This opinion is geared toward the reloader. If one chooses to shoot factory fodder, I would still pick the Winny for those cases but the Rem will work. I dont have exp. with the Sako WSM action.
