Of all the CRF actions; win., mauser, cz, ruger MKII, custom, etc., which is the lightest to heaviest in that order? Thanks. | ||

So, does anyone have any Dakota 76 actions lying around to weigh for us? I don't have the info on these. I believe their true magnum action has a larger diameter bolt than most others. How about the Johansen? Granite Mountain? Wells? Brevex? All of these go beyond my simple means. Could someone enlighten us on this weighty matter? ------------------ | ||

Hey thanks R. A. Berry. JK | ||

JK, You are welcome. I hope someone else will reveal the secrets of how much the modern high dollar actions weigh. I feel that the best way to go is to get your smith to blueprint one of the following: short magnum: Ruger Mark II Model 77 Anything bigger would go in a double rifle or be relegated to the curio corner. Of course, those with money to burn can do as they please in this regard. The only advantage I see to the Dakota action is its greater bolt diameter. However, I certainly don't need it since I would not consider using any case head bigger in diameter than the 416 Rigby/460 Weatherby. A 500 Nitro Express 3" double rifle makes perfect sense to me, however. ------------------ | ||

Montana MRC 1999 is 44 oz, got this off their website. She was only the Fish Mongers daughter. But she lay on the slab and said 'fillet' | |||

You should have waited another month and 10 days to post it. It would have been appropriate to celebrate the 10th death anniversary of the thread with a new post. The price of knowledge is great but the price of ignorance is even greater. | |||

Hey! bringing this thread back makes me look pretty ignorant! I aRe A Berry, and I have learned that the Dakota 76 African bolt body diameter is a mere 0.700" like most others, standard and magnum. The weight is about the same as other Rigby-sized actions. Sorry I did not weigh it when it was being rebarreled from .395 Tatanka to 404 RIP. Granite Mountain has both a 0.700" and a .750" bolt diameter, and I cannot keep up with the RMC. Does the RMC PH action have a 0.800" bolt diameter, and considerable weight? Johannsen is the Prechtl/Golmatic action, similar to the original Oberndorf Mag Mauser, similar to the French Brevex ... blah blah blah ... | |||

They must have put their actions on a diet. I get: MRC BSRS (Short, stainless, .308 bolt face) 45.8 oz. MRC CCRM-L (Long, Chrome-moly, .375 bolt face) 46.7 oz. The short is a very early "charter" and the long is from just after that offering ended. And yeh, I'm on the hook for several of the PH actions. (As an aside, my scale is certified for trade at 0.05 oz.) | |||
