   One big thing to watch for in push feed actions is the fact that upon chambering a round, you don’t fully engage the bolt, ie. straight to half cock after chambering, then try to extract a round, the...

   Mickey sorry you're incorrect but I do admit we are arguing semantics around the definition of cocked. You are referring to a hammer gun being held in the half cock position by the sear. A bolt out...

   Half cock for me and only close on firing. One thing I notice on many US hunting vids is how regular it is for hunters to cock their rifles, apply the safety, sling the rifle over their shoulders and...

   You misunderstand the meaning of cocked. The firing pin is cocked no matter whether it is retained by the sear or not. The M70 and most of our modern rifles are based off the Gewehr M98 a "cock on...

   No it's not. After firing, when you lift the bolt handle that action is compressing the firing pin spring and cocking the firing pin. Cock on closing is like a Lee Enfield type action.

    yes - early sakos and Tikkas would be my first choice - both generally shoot very well and were well made with good triggers - some now may have had a lot of use so you will need someone with nous...

    Yes you can have 2700mg a day. I've been up at 1800 but my driving suffered. Not a good look for an airline pilot.
