Mike

The only Weatherby I've worked on had a Mauser action and I rebarreled it for a friend.

I'm not trying to fan the flames here. I was just trying to volunteer some info to the origional subject line of this thread. Obviously I favor the controlled round feed and the Mauser 98. The cartridge 9.3X64 seems like a great fit for the standard Mauser and actions are readily available for anyone to BUILD a rifle of this caliber.

I do not consider myself a gunsmith as my professional gun work has been building rifles from scratch. I haven't repaired "smithed" very many guns. I chose to work for manufacturers and build "make" rifles from scratch. That's why I use gunmaker. There are many much more qualified gunsmiths out there to diagnose and repair than I.

The Weatherby notes I posted as you can read in my posts is info relayed to me by someone else who has fixed almost everything. Not my personal experience. I apologise if I misled anyone here.

As for blowing up actions, I have done that. At school a student that hated Mausers bought a chinese copy of a 98 and using a german bolt laughingly told me, "I'll show how weak these shi&&y Mausers really are." We proceeded to try and destroy it. After firing it with a case full of red dot and having very little ill effect, it was rechambered for a 338win in a 7.65 barrel drilled for the pilot of the reamer. The case was again filled with red dot and nothing came apart. The bolt did set back a little requiring the barrel to be set back into headspace. We finally had to fill the barrel with lead and using a 338mag case full of red dot got a small piece to blow off the receiver ring. The thin part in front of the ejection port. The receiver threads remained intact and the bolt did not come out. The other student ate his crow and proceeded to build many fine Mausers in the rest of his time at school.

I'm not saying your Wbys are weak, just sharing my personal experience with blowing up a Mauser 98. I feel very safe behind one when I pull the trigger.

Speaking about the gunwriters, some have probably been fed a steady stream of free guns. Mausers done well are much more expensive than a push feed. Most were probably Remingtons.
