What can you tell me about whitworth Mausers,?? Are they any good?

I played with one some, it was a .375H&H. It was a fine rifle, I just didn't have a use for it so it went back to its owner.

Research Old Ugly.

Whitworth is just a brand name used for rifles assembled in England. All of the Whitworth Mausers that I recall seeing were built on Santa Barbara actions made in Spain or Zastava actions made in the former Yugoslavia.

So gtg? In large magnum calibers??

I had a .375 H&H Whitworth express for a while. It was a very nice and well built rifle. Mine had a Zastava action.

Then I figured out I didn’t need it. And I really had no use for it. So I traded it off or sold it. Don’t remember which. I kept my 9.3 x 62. If I ever need a big rifle that one will work.

It was a very nice well built rifle tho!

I searched old ugly. What forum ??

They were only made using Zastava made actions, same as the Interarms Mk X.

I thought that the British companies that assemble rifles from outsourced parts weren't particular. I've seen Parker-Hale and Formost brand rifles built on both Santa Barbara and Zastiva actions. Witworth must be an Interarems brand, if they are built on actions stamps Interarems.

Correct.

My 375 Weatherby is gtg on a Whitworth.

They were factory offered in various magnum chamberings including teh .375 H&H and .458 Win Mag.

I got a Whitworth 7X57 barreled action from the factory rep back in the mid 80s and put it in a [bleep] full length stock. It has taken many deer since then. It's a fine action and the barrel is quite accurate. It's the one on the bottom:

Don't know why it bleeped F a g e n.
