Wow! That Interarms was priced a few hundred more than just the price of the action alone and you get an entire rifle. I can see why it went so fast. The others are quite reasonable.
 
Well @AZDAVE my wife will thank you from keeping another 375 from showing up!
 
I thought the Weatherby Mark V action was push feed.
Am I incorrect?
 
You're correct, my mistake, the Mark V is push feed. I'm not a Weatherby guy. But didn't they have rifles made in Germany on Mauser action at one time? Thanks for catching that.

Sort-of; the first Weatherbys were made in Southgate, Calif and the standard runs used FN commercial '98 actions- these were CRF. then the Mark V action was developed and the initial supplier was part of the Sauer werkes in Germany- these were Push-Feed. For some reason, the source was shifted to Japan but the rifle remained essentially the same.
 
I'll take the interarms 375
You stole that gun! Had I seen it sooner, I would have stole it. Is it a Yugoslav/Serbian action?

thank you for saving my marriage...

I was seriously tempted on this one....
@mdwest Make sure you tell her that so she puts us back on the christmas card list, as she was a tad miffed at me assisting you to build the 416 taylor

@cagkt3 Glad to help a fellow big bore guys out so that the better half doesn't get chapped.

I grew up in Downey, next to South Gate. When I got my drivers’ license, I drove to Weatherby’s shop ONCE and gazed at the rifles I knew/thought I could never afford to buy. This was in the mid seventies. By then, Weatherby had shifted their production to the Howa factory in Japan to reduce labor costs and be able to compete with Remington, Winchester, Ruger, etc. Howa actually produced better quality rifles (better machining) than in the U.S. at the time. Howa’s quality is still great today. Anyway, just some Weatherby history.
