No lefty options it seems -_-

Yet. It's a small market. - dan

 

[dan belisle]

Why would they go the route of the 700? For compatibility with after market stuff already available?

Yes, huge aftermarket out there for 700's. - dan

Nice looking action. Good job weatherby.

 

[pathfinder76]

Not what I was expecting... but at least they didn't join in on the race to the bottom with a $350 Wby version of the Axis.

That’s what a 700 action was designed to be.

Yup ! I have a new Christensen Arms Mesa - it’s a Very Nice action . Nearly the Same . RJ

 

[remington jim]

That’s what a 700 action was designed to be.

Remington and Remington clones much better than a Winny ! Lol RJ

 

[pathfinder76]

How so Jim?

 

[Jordan Weber]

The faster twist on the .243 is interesting.
1 in 7.5" makes for some interesting reloading options.

Remington and Remington clones much better than a pos Winny ! JMO RJ

Jim, what advantage does the new Weatherby action have over the Remington 700 action?

 

[Buckmastr]

The Remington action is time tested and fairly bullet proof. That’s why it is copied. Aftermarket support is also huge because gun nuts are never fully satisfied with anything.

Now put that 7.5 twist on the Ti 240.

 

[remington jim]

How so Jim?

Lighter- Smoother - Quieter- Nicer Looking - Push Feed - Side Bolt Release on Clones - Thumb safety - Just stuff I like ! All JMHO RJ

 

[remington jim]

Jim, what advantage does the new Weatherby action have over the Remington 700 action?

Bolt release system ! RJ.

It looks like the short action mag length is close to 3", it might work well with a 284 build.

Yes 6.5-284 or 284 ! RJ

Again, they go with external extractor, negating the best feature of the 700 action, gas sealing.
