Can someone explain the difference between 'controlled feed' and 'push feed' bolt actions for me?
I've already got a thread going about a CZ 527 American that I'm considering. Per CZ's site "the CZ 527 is a true micro length Mauser style action and features controlled round feed". It seems that a lot of bolt actions are 'push' feed. What is the difference? Is controlled feed better? Is the Mauser action considered to be superior? It sounds like a 'better' action to me, but I really know nothing about it.
If anyone could shed a little light on this it would be appreciated.
I'm sure that I don't need the most sophisticated rifle action, but it is appealing in the same way that a Porsche or Ferrari engine can be more appealing to a car enthusiast than an American pushrod engine. If I buy the 527, and I buying a superior action? Or is 'controlled vs push' more like Ford vs Chevy? No right answer.
Thanks for any help.
