I wouldn't care about controlled feed for a deer rifle.
I'm interested in the 6.5x284 Norma too.
I'm thinking of going Savage or Rem-age so I can replace burned out barrels myself.

I really like the idea of the old style Winchester triggers and CRF. I have had way too many feeding problems with Remingtons. In fact, it seems like the same Remingtons that used to feed fine won't feed anymore. Either the bolt doesn't catch the case head and rides over it or the case pops up over the bolt.
Now, I wouldn't mind a Remington with a AICS pattern detachable magazine, but I'd rather have 4 rounds down and a flush fit for hunting. This isn't going to be a long range gun. I'll build something on a Remington for that.
I do like the idea of a Rem-age. I may try that on one of my shot out Remingtons.
