[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 1285340, member: 25383"] have made this statement several times in the past, and I'll do it again. Roy Weatherby had a MK. V. action on his desk that was used as a paper weight. It had been a .300 mag action. They shot a squib thru it, and the bullet was lodged midway in the barrel. They then shot another full bore load thru it pushing the first bullet out. The bolt opened freely and the receiver actually was reusable. Try that with a Remington or Savage action!!! J.E. Custom has said several times that the MK.V. was machined more accurately than any he'd measured. I've never checked one, so can't vouch for his comment. gary [/QUOTE]
