The Prevail from franklinarmory is a new bolt-action rifle that promises to combine the best of controlled-round-feed and push-feed actions. They’re calling this a total round control action. What that means is it has a CRF extractor under which the case head slides as soon as it clears the magazine feed lips, but the case then hits an actuator that allows the plunger ejector to press onto the case — the extractor and ejector together are holding the case securely. Traditional CRF actions use a stationary ejector because the case interfaces the with the bolt face by sliding onto it, where many push feeds use a spring-loaded ejector onto with the case head is pushed. This combines both elements. —Tyler Freel, senior staff writer #outdoorlife #shotshow #shotshow2026
