[QUOTE="9x23w, post: 2709466, member: 862"] I have an older M995 in the warbird and it's very nice. Any advantage over the same rifle in 30-378? Well, no. I like the Warbird beltless case and normal shoulder (as opposed to the Weatherby radiused shoulder) but practically I don't see any real difference. The M995 is the best non-custom action for these rounds. Will it shoot better than a Mark V? Again probably not. If you really want a Warbird just wait for one to pop up. If you don't want to wait 30-378 M995's and Mark V's are much more common. Going full custom is great if you can afford it. I would not recommend trying to modify a Rem 700 or anything else not really designed for the 416 Rigby sized case. People have done it but there have been lots of issues. Why look for trouble? One exception: a quick and dirty solution if you really want a Warbird: get a 300 Win Mag Ruger No. 1 and rechamber it. You might have to change the extractor to the one from the 416 Rigby No. 1's. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
