I'm planning on switching to 7saum for my F-class rifle. I would prefer to just switch entire bolt entire bolt assemblies, rather than just the bolt head. So far, the only place I've found that has a short action right hand magnum bolt is Midway. But, they only stock the controlled feed bolt. Oddly, they stock the push feed in left hand only. My question is this: am I sacrificing any safety or accuracy using the controlled feed bolt? Or, is the push feed the way to go?

You'd probably want to stick with the push feed since the CRF relies on a receiver mounted ejector.

The ejector won't be a problem, I'd probably bypass it anyway. Any other problems with the controlled feed?

I can't think of any other issues. If there were you could still replace the bolt head for $20 later down the road.
