Ruger GSR Scout Rifle- Controlled Round Feed or Not?

I read somewhere that the single stack magazine Ruger chose for the GSR precludes the bolt from being a CRF and instead becomes a push feed. Can anyone confirm or deny this? I know there are at least a few members here who have a GSR. After much deliberation and research I may be ready to buy one this weekend. I was just wondering about the CRF function since I am big Mauser fan. I know it's not necessary to protect me from a deadly charging whitetail attack, but I think its cool none the less.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
 
Here, page 2:
But the new Scout is unlike any Hawkeye: particularly in how it is fed. While Ruger’s decision to use Accuracy Int’l-pattern magazines can’t be criticized from a purely functional standpoint, it is worth noting that it results in the M77’s otherwise controlled-round-feed action performing as a push-feed throughout much of the feeding cycle. It could be argued, however, that the arrangement still offers the Mauser-style claw extractor’s strength and purchase on the case rim and the fixed blade ejector’s facility for manual control of cases.
