MS: my FN FWT has a magazine block. It allows a longer seating than my 80s FWT Bob. But it's still blocked. Interesting. It makes me wonder what Winchester was doing. My mag box measure 3.4" on the nose. You would think that they would have taken more care with a special run.

Without the block it will be 3.60"....the 375 H&H and 416 Rem will not have a block, like the pushfeed and Classic 70's in 7STW and 300 Wtby etc.,...no block at 3.40"...full 3.60" box.

Absolutely correct. I was relying on paper notes without actually looking at the rifle. My Stainless Classic .375 has no block.

Kend, good buy. I must be missing something in this thread, as you essentially bought the gun itself for $550-$600, depending on how much you want to attribute to the scopes worth. I'd reaaly like to know where these guys are going to find a NIB FN featherweight for that. $730-$779 right now in my neck of the woods- if you can find one anywhere.
