Or stop the bolt short then take the fired case out to go back into the box next to a loaded one so it stays cleaner than those aground.
Yes. A neat feature of the CRF

Upsides to the Mausingfield:
scope rail
Savage easy-swap barrels and changeable bolt face
As much an any of it's features, this has me leaning toward the Mausingfield. Swap barrel and I'm shooting .260 Remington
Some say that the barrel nut is ugly. Frankly, I don't care. I have a Savage and It's never bothered me
the really neat aspect of this is the user can intentionally sling brass across space and time into the next universe by running the bolt really hard, or be gentle and have a nice little pile of brass next to the shooter, case velocity is determined by the bolt velocity, not a spring
Also take a look at the bergara action that comes packed with features only found in
actions and rifles that cost x 3 times or more.
Independent left side bolt stop release
The bolt handle is brazed to the bolt body and screwed to the end so they can be exchanged.
The bolt and receiver are made of beefy 4140 chrome-moly steel.
The bolt rides on two rails within the receiver and it’s incredibly slick and smooth.
We know is more cost effective but not sure why is a bad thing?I don't consider brazing the bolt handle to the bolt body as being a good thing.

Because brazed on bolt handles can and do come off unexpectedly. Introducing an additional failure point between two parts using a technique that is expedient and nothing more is not a good idea. PT&G offers one-piece Remington bolts for a reason, and those bolts sell well for a reason. I'm surprised that Bergara went with soldering. I would have expected one-piece or at the very least a welded connection.
The cannot come off unless you want to. They are locked by the rear mechanism.
Uhhh, yes they can .... and no they're not. Do a search ... there are many, many Remington owners out there who have had bolt handles break off. I had all three of my Remington handles TIG welded on for this very reason.
