I have found a good deal on a used Remington 700 in a .416 Rem Mag that I would like to take to Africa in a couple of years from now and on a brown bear hunt next fall. My question is how important is a controlled round feed(ie:Winchester,Ruger,Mauser)bolt action compared to a non-controlled round feed like the Remington when dealing with dangerous game? I've also heard that the weakest part on a Remington action is the extractor, though I've never had a failure nor have any of my shooting buddies. A friend said if he was going to use a Remington on dangerous game he would have a gunsmith install a Sako extractor......comments???
Yeah Yeah.... I know the traditional purest will say use a double rifle on dangerous game, but if I buy a double rifle I'll be so broke I can't afford to go to Africa
