Ed Brown 300 win mag?

[Bender]

I searched and other than a review on a gun rag website, I could not find much on them.

It looks like it is based off a Mauser type action? Could be wrong there too, I have not seen it in a while and I was thinking of shooting him an offer.

Ed quit building rifles quite some time ago. Many reasons I heard. Not missing from those was accuracy issues that should not have been on such highly touted and just as highly priced rifles. I seem to remember he built on a Winchester style action (pretty close to Mauser).

He will let me shoot it and think about it. He is in no hurry, and being broke, neither am I.

Nice looking rifles, they offered two different actions if I recall. One was a push feed and the other controlled feed. Almost bought a used 7mag a couple years ago at about $2200. From what I was told they wanted to concentrate on 1911's as the long guns were not a big profit for them.

At the risk of sounding retarded. What is a push feed vs. controlled? Is that internal magazine vs. removable?

But but basically the control feed uses the extractor to control the round between the mag and chamber and push feed uses the bolt to push the round out of the mag and to the chamber.

There will be a resurrection for the lack of a better phrase...looking forward to getting a customized rifle.

Thanks. I have both types i guess. a 700 SA and an old sporterized Mauser. I will look at them in detail.
