tube fed bolt action?

[born-to-hunt]

Do they still make magazine fed bolt action rifles? more specificly in .223? (I don't want to buy one or anything just curious)

??all repeating rifles are magazine fed?


If you want a detachable mag look at the CZ527

oh crap sorry I didn't mean magazine fed lol (i'm kinda stupid sometimes lol) sorry I meant tube fed

Most of the tube fed bolt-actions out there are rimfires.  I'm not aware of any centerfire bolt-action tube fed rifles.  A tube severely limits the ammunition you can use, which is, I think, why it has mostly fallen out of favor as a feeding mechanism for rifles.

OK I was just curious to see if they did thanx

Pointed Full metal Jacketd bullets do not react well when struck in the primer under recoil with the round behind it in a tube magizine.
The only tube fed center fire rifles I have ever heard of were a Remington and it fired 45-70.
Go rent a copy of Crossfire trail to see one.

+1 - Way back in the '50s I hunted a cousin's place once with a borrowed Remington tube-fed pump, in, as I recall, .30 Rem caliber, and I believe the magazine tube had a "twist" to cant loaded rounds so that the bullet points were offset from primers??

--Rent a Tom Selleck western?!!  (Now I'll have to pull my copy out and look for that rifle!)
