Same cartridge spec, different rifling. The older .244 rifling doesn't like 100 grain bullets, which seems to be all anybody makes in 6mm these days.

Ruger american ranchx2. One in 556 and one in 7.62x39. Both scoped and carried in a 36" double rifle soft case
Both shoot 1" at 100 yrds. Just too damn handy, accurate and fun

Same as 6mm Remington? .244 Remington was renamed 6mm Remington when they made the twist faster to stabilize heavier bullets. A Remington .244 will likely not stabilize 100 grain bullets, but might stabilize 85 grain. It was intended originally for light varmint bullets. I have a Sako barreled action custom rifle that has a Douglas Premium match barrel. The barrel is chambered and labeled .244 Remington, but was made with the faster twist to stabilize heavier, higher BC bullets. I hand load, so ammo is not an issue. Lots of 6mm component bullets out there. It has a medium twist, 1:9, and can stabilize up to 105-115 grain bullets, but not the super long VLD ones. Federal currently includes an 80 grain soft point factory load in its production. Check around to see which vendors may stock it. |

A ruger American Ranch in 5.56. It's more than accurate enough. Fairly inexpensive to shoot a lot, and uses AR mags.
I bought a bushnell 223 scope for it, with bullet drop compensator out to 500 yards. I shoot it more than ARs these days. |

This one is a favorite, too. This is a mid-60’s Weatherby Mark V in classic .300 Weatherby chambering. The scope is its original period-correct Weaver 4-12x with blued steel tube made in El Paso, TX. I inherited it from its original owner family member.
The pencil barrel gets hot fast, but is free floated. It’s good close to MOA for three shots, then it gets hot and walks. Three shots are about all you want to take at a time, though. Light weight makes it kick like a mule.

Those ‘60s Mark V stocks were definitely an acquired taste aesthetically, but the cheek weld Is superb and works well given the hard, sharp recoil. It helps reduce creeping up on the stock and ending up with the Weatherby “eyebrow cut” from the back end of the scope. |

Well, I don't have any pictures on me, but it would be my 700 CDL SF Limited in 30-06, the first year Remington made them. Before they became a regular addition to the line up, the first run was for the 100th anniversary of the 30-06. My wife bought it for me, out of the blue with no input from myself.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Nope, absolutely controlled feed. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I thought the tang safety versions were push feed? Nope, absolutely controlled feed. Ruger M77 was not controlled round feed until the Mark II. Earlier versions have a lip on the bottom of the bolt face for push feed. Surprising number of people don't realize this. The M77 was retooled almost entirely and reintroduced in 1991 as the Mark II. The safety, bolt, and trigger were completely redesigned. The claw extractor was retained, but the bolt face was opened up to allow controlled-round feeding. The plunger ejector was replaced with a Mauser style blade ejector. Yeah, it is Wiki, but it is correct. |

All I can tell you is you cannot drop a cartridge on the follower and close the bolt it must be fed from the magazine so that it slips under the extractor. If that is not controlled feed I don't know what is. It is the same with my Model 70 Winchester.

Browning A-bolt stalker in 7mm Rem Mag. Bought it brand new 21 years ago and still running as strong as day one. Lots of miles with me in the woods and a fair amount of whitetails to show for it.
Very close second is my Remington 600. Fun little gun to drag around. Killed a number of deer with it as well. |

If that is not controlled feed I don't know what is. It is the same with my Model 70 Winchester. This is a tang safety Ruger 77? If it is a MkII then it IS CRF. How does the cartridge depress the spring loaded ejector, or get past the lip on the bottom of the bolt? Not trying to be an ass and just saw this when the new post brought it back up on my Subscribed list. I have also recently purchased an gunsmith estate lot of Ruger bolts, and a quick way to determine MkI or MkII is the ejector plunger on the Mk1. While the first iteration of the Model 77 was pretty successful, the old shoolers still groused about a few things. First, it wasn’t a true controlled-round-feed. The side-saddle claw extractor was there alright, but it snapped over the cartridge rim after the bolt bumped the cartridge from the magazine loosely into the chamber area—hence the not-so-complimentary nickname, bump-and-run bolt action. Sullivan, when he designed the bolt to be made from an investment casting, retained the new plunger-style ejector which gave handloaders fits. Initially there were concerns over the strength of investment-cast receivers and bolts, but those were abated once independent tests revealed that the new alloys and heat treating made the investment-cast parts actually stronger than the older forgings. By the time 1989 rolled around Ruger had seen the light regarding controlled-round feeding, plunger-style ejectors and rather clubby stocks. The Model 77 Mark II debuted as a true controlled-round-feed, with a blade ejector, a three-position safety mounted on the rear of the bolt and a somewhat slimmer stock. https://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/2016/5/24/a-look-back-at-the-ruger-model-77-rifle/ @Bushman_269 |

Fun is CZ 455 Scout. Two kids started with it and it is fun for adults.
Usefulness is Tikka T3 lite stainless in 30-06. Hard to beat a no frills, accurate, soft recoil and light rifle in a cartridge that can span varmint to heavy game. 1903a3 gets an honorable mention. Pleasant to shoot with the cock on open and smooth action. Accurate for a milsurp. Looks great with good wood. |

Weatherby Vanguard or Howa 1500
I'm glad to see the aftermarket is opening up for these guns. Better receiver than the Rem 700 with the integrated recoil lug and more ports in bolt for safety if there's a blown case head. M16 style extractor on the bolt. Better factory trigger than Rem 700. The only thing the Rem 700 has going for it is the aftermarket support. I own Remingtons as well, but for a factory gun the Vanguard and Howa are better. |

Can't remember when my 7X57 VZ24 was built, but, it's a Brazilian Contract Mauser from around 1933 or 1934. Started out as a real basket case, with the only thing salvageable being the action, so I had it re-barreled, aftermarket trigger, and stuck it in a Boyd's stock. It has been a real deer slayer for me for the past 8 years or so. It's heavy, clunky, and I love it. I had it parkerized too.
I'll look for better pictures later, this is all i can find for now.  Attached File |

Winchester Model 70
This is my overall favorite bolt action rifle. IMO they're perfect as hunting rifles. They have an MOA guarantee, cold hammer forged barrels, and controlled round feed. The actions are really smooth and ever since they've been making rifles under FN they've been fantastic. Savage 10/110/12/112, etc Love these rifles for their accuracy and no bullshit. Not the prettiest guns or the smoothest actions, but they are accurate as hell and you can customize the hell out of them. Sako 85 I don't think anything needs to be said other than the fact it is a Sako. Browning T-Bolt Favorite rimfire bolt action. |

I also remember mom saying that grandpa had some letters he'd kept that one german girl wrote to him after he came back from the war. Maybe the german girls where in France?? Or maybe grandpa was in Germany for awhile after the war ended?? I have no idea how they met. |

I'm really fond of my Weatherby Vanguard .30-06.
 And I'm really really fond of my 1948 Win. Model 70. In .30GOV'T-06.   I stripped the old dirty finish off the stock and glassed the crack between the mag well and the trigger hole. As worn as this rifle looks the bore is every bit as tight as the Vanguard's. And it'll shoot amazingly if l do my part.  I really like my Enfield No.4 Mk l and No.5 and am quite fond of my Swiss 96/11. |

Kimber Mountain Ascent is 308. For a lightweight rifle it is silly accurate. Put a Nightforce 2.5-10 with the velocity 600 reticle on it and with 165 Accubonds at 2800fps, the hash marks are dead on out to 500 yards. It’s a joy to carry and has joined me for hundreds of miles in the woods. It’s taken at least a dozen moose, multiples of that in deer, a bison, hogs, gators, etc. It’s the only rifle I own that I’d never sell.

If that is not controlled feed I don't know what is. It is the same with my Model 70 Winchester. I think that is a common misunderstanding with CRF guns, at least newer ones. I am able to drop a round on top of the follower and push it into the chamber like a push feed, then close the bolt on all of the newer CRF rifles I have had which include my current Model 70 Safari Express... along with a couple CZ 550s I've owned, and a CZ 527. It requires some force, but you can close the bolt on them and when you retract the bolt the case is held by the claw. Ron Spomer even shows an old Rigby rifle which used a magnum Mauser action on his channel and shows how you can put 4 416 Rigby cartridges into the magwell, then push the top round down a bit to give the bolt some clearance so it won't grab it, and drop a 5th round directly into the chamber so you have 5 rounds of 416 Rigby ready to go. ETA: Here is a gif I made showing it on my Model 70 in 416 Rem Mag. The rifle's safety is on position 2 while I did this so I can operate the bolt, but the trigger is disabled. Makes no difference if it's on position 1 as I've obviously dropped them in and fired them in the field before.  |
