I think a lot of African hunters and guides would be interested in knowing that about Weatherbys.

I own both Rems and Weatherbys, both excellent actions, but chips and my face on the line, I'd trust the Weatherby first, and every time after.
I thought you were referencing the most copied action part .
I have never been a fan of Howa actions compared to the Mauser 1898 style action personally but mainy refute that as well.
I don’t think you will find the Weatherby action is very prevelant in African Hunting circles .
