Not dumb, but all Weatherby's are long or magnum action. They put a stop in the "short action" calibers. I have one in 7mmm-08. These are great guns; fair price. If I did not already have a couple of .243's; I would add this to my Weatherby arsenal.

Don't want to hi-jack this sale thread, but I understood that the lwt is actually a smaller action, with 6 locking lugs rather than 9 locking lugs and that it's significantly smaller/lighter. But, I may be mis-informed...

I have a couple 6 lug Weatherby's the buyer of this will not be disappointed.

It has been such a long time since I owned a 6 lug that I didn't remember if they were SA or LA. This rifle could be re-barrelled to a very nice 240 bee

No reamer specs in front of me, but I do believe the 06AI case cleans up the NATO case (with a little setback). I don't know about the .240, on account of the belt and downsized case diameter.

Free bump...I really wish I had the money. I have had a couple of these and they are great rifles and a fair price. If you are looking for a partial/full trade or can wait a bit for the funds, let me know.
