The remington 700 style push-feed action came to be because it was cheaper to manufacturer, not because it was better.
Kimber's action with the controlled round feed extractor bar smoothness vs Sako and Tikka push feed is an example of which action type can be polished to a higher quality. Sako does a lot of craftsmanship, and they even try to mimic some of the mauser action ideas, but they are still a push feed and not a mauser action.
