[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 845494, member: 11717"] I would like to read that thread if I could find it. I have no doubt that the Mark V is a stronger action, but I'm sure Howa's are close. As for the Mark V and Sako being the only actions "strong enough" for the .378, I don't think so. Any action that is strong enough for a 338 LM is strong enough for a .378. And 338's have been built on Howa's and 700 although there is debate on how good of an idea that is. I wouldn't do it. I have a Sako M85 SM (short mag) action and side by side comparison I don't see how it would be any stronger than the Howa. In fact, there is more steel in the Howa feed rail/raceway on the ejection port side than the M85. It is also a lot more beefy there than the 700. Bottom line is that all these actions are strong enough for the cartridges they were designed for. To say one is stronger than another is basically meaningless. [/QUOTE]
