I'll second Taylor's interpretation of the OPs original presentation of the comparison.
An operational firearm was compared against one where the OP admitted, mentioned, acknowledged (whatever, quit devolving to irrelevancies, you are the one who said it didn't work) that it had a feed problem.
The defense of the comparison because your KS had a feed problems at slow speed didn't equate a problem if you cycled it faster is a bit flawed. Common sense would bet that it would fail at high speed as well.
This is clearly sampling bias. OK, so you weren't conducting an official scientific study. I get it. But heck, lets take a rifle with a shot out barrel and compare accuracy to a factory new one. Let's take an AR assembled without gas rings on the bolt and compare it to one with gas rings.
Your comparing a malfunctioning push feed firearm to a functioning CRF one to advocate the merits of CRF is laughable.
Bottom line, you think CRF has merit. That's great. I won't argue that point, even though all my bolts are push feed. I have respect for it as an action.
Realize there are also people, some with considerable African experience (eg, Craig Boddington), who also use push feed in Africa and have no issue tackling dangerous game with it.
