gunmaker,

Weatherby has had a one piece bolt since day one and "day one" was in the 1950s. As a "gunmaker" I am suprised that you did not know this, given that Wby is one of the main players and you are "gunmaker"

In a pevious posting on this thread I outlined many faults of the Weatherby action and also commented that the very large majority of Weatherby critics never raise these points. That to me suggests the criticisms of Wby actions are not made by users of the action.

You also said:

I know I can't change your mind. I'm sure many hunters never had any problems with their Weatherby.

Again, I have posted on this thread the reasons that the Weatherby might fire as the safety is let off. What you can't convince me of is that an overload that was so big that integral bolt handle was broken off AND no mention of what happened to the rifle and shooter. Basically, you posted up bullshit.

You are "gunmaker" so what sort of overload do you think we have when an integral bolt handle is broken off in the attempt to open the action.

In short, if you are going to criticise Weatherby actions then aim your criticism where it should be aimed and GET your facts right.

Arguably though, Holland&Holland, Purdy, and Westley Richards are three of the best gunmakers in the world. What bolt action do they use? None have chosen, to my knowledge, to use a push feed design in safari rifles they sell. I could be mistaken....

If I was having custom rifles made in calibres like 300H&H, 375 H&H, 404, 505 etc I would use the Mauser or M70 action.

If you read one of my prevous postings on this thread I have outlined why I like Weatherby...and there is no conflict with Mauser/M70 etc.

BUT, do get your facts right.

By the way, how do think the shooter of a Mauser 98 would have gone with an overload that was so big that the integral bolt handle was broken off???? and especially if it was in a big diameter case head calibre. WOW, BIG POWER

Mike
