[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 330781, member: 2736"] More anti Weatherby ! I hear this all the time and I can assure you there is nothing wrong with the weatherbys except they can be used for most of the big cartriges that the Remington's and Winchesters cant. The bolt lugs are basically a big thread that has been interrupted ( Just like the 16" guns on battle ships and most artillery pieces. In fact they are the most accurately machined factory receiver on the market bar none. I build a lot of rifles on the Mark 5 Weatherby action and the accuracy is great plus it has a longer magazine than any other factory action and will handel much longer COL loads. As to lapping the lugs it's actually easier because it starts out at 90% or better. So if you want a Weatherby accumark in 338/378 go for it. Sorry If it sounds like I own Weatherby stock (Wish I did) but I feel compelled to defend a fine product. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
