The MK V 9 lug was concieved in a different era. It is likely the toughest action ever. I like mine. It began life as an American made Fibermark. I removed the stock upon purchase & sold it. I had an ultralight stock made and the gun weighs 8 lbs all up. That's not too light or heavy for a 7 Wby. I just love the gun.
On one end of the spectrum we have the MK V 9 lug. Heavy, yes. The other end you have the Kimber’s. Lightweight, small? Yes. Both do their intended job, as well as every quality action in between. With all the choices of today any Remington 700 clone is more than sufficient. Still, I love my Mk V 7 Wby.
