[QUOTE="downandlow, post: 3098467, member: 128291"] Calvin I grew up on long Weatherby belted magnums and they r near and dear to me still. Especially that 257 mag. But now it sits in the safe mostly and I look at it once in a while with fond memories. I say the weight savings claims made on short mag rifles vs long is that usually they are offered in 1-2” shorter barrel Versions. That plus a slightly shorter action that’s stiffer and lighter than a long action give u a “slight” edge in weight. Short mags are t earth shattering better but for for me , now, for a long range hunting rifle that may have to be toted up and down terrain, I’ll take any advantage I can reasonably get Silky [/QUOTE]
