Weatherby action

[Bert Reynolds]

While comparing some actions today I noticed a something clever on my MKV. Because the lugs do not lock at the 6 and 12 o’clock position. The action can be opened up without concern for removing material at the feed ramp. This gives weatherby the ability to fit the largest calibers (460 weatherby) on an action as long as a Mauser with ease. The disappointing part is the magazine is a bit narrow, so it only holds 3 rounds of 300 weatherby.

Most magnum actions will only hold 3 round in the magazine. Then there are the ones that will only hold 2.

This gives you 4 or 3 total rounds if you top off the magazine after you chamber a round.

That’s mainly because most manufacturers do not make caliber specific magazines. If the mag box was 2mm wider it would hold 4 rounds down in the box.
