[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1322273, member: 2736"] I totally agree that All barrel tenon's could be larger but comparing tenon's of different brands I could not find a savage that had a larger tenon than The mark 5. The Mark 5 tenon is 1.060 and the savage is 1.055. The rem 700 tenon is 1.60 like the Weatherby. the only Weatherby I could find that has a small tenon is the Six lug and it has a .875 dia. And not recommended for big magnum cartridges. The difference is like the large ring Mauser and small ring Mauser, the large shank Savage and the small shank Savage. the 9 lug Mark 5 barrel is as large as all but a few actions. The reason I have not had any extractor problems is that I don't push any cartridge above SAMMI pressures. With my wildcats, I do other things to hold pressure to SAMMI pressures even though they will hold a lot more powder. I like them to operate in the neighborhood of 62,000 to 63,000 PSI. Like you I really like the 9 lug Mark 5 For big cartridge builds. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
