Retard's hanging out at the short range shot thread...
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
If the rifleman pushes the bolt part way forward and a cartridge starts into the chamber and then pulls the bolt back on a push feed action he can push the next round under the first and jam the rifle.
This is why manually operated battle and dangerous game rifles have been made with control round feeding.
Besides it's good machinery. If you can operate a Bridgeport or a South Bend you will know what I mean. If you don't know what a "Bridgeport" or "South Bend" is then you may not.
And according to you, Remington bolts all fall off too.

Actually no the 99 is CRF. You can empty the gun by cycling the lever 1/2 way closed, it will pick up a shell & eject it without closing the bolt.
My M-77 Ruger on the other hand will cycle a round from the mag to chamber even if the gun is held upside down....thought that might be important if anyone is charged by a grizzly while lying on their back ...just don't short stroke it or we all know what happens

Well, not all of them - but I have re-silver soldered two Rem bolt handles back on for customers - none on my own Rems however. I keep my reloads not tooo hot.... and watch the brass, regardless of rifle brand and caliber.
In any case, if a jam isn't a mechanical problem, then it is an operator problem...
