From about 1960 on you could legitimately say that a push-feed action was cheaper to build. However, since CNC machinery has become universal and easily cuts tolerances of +/- nuttin', there really isn't any reason for building them except in the case where MOA accuracy makes sense. Since the heart on a Cape buffalo is at least the size of a normal man's head and since the whole idea behind hunting dangerous game is to get as close (and dangerous) as possible, I'd rather have controlled feed, especially since you get striker-block safeties that way. I really, really don't like trigger-block safeties . . .
So, yeah, look for a nice custom 98. You'll be happier in the long run. Shoot, you might even live longer . . .
