And those nine little bitty lugs that Weatherby uses do not come close to having the strength of the three that Sako uses.

And like driftrider said, it is next to impossible to get all nine of those lugs to bear against their seats evenly so how many are actually taking the strain of the firing? I know for a fact that in many cases as the gun comes out of the box from Weatherby, with out having been hand lapped by a gunsmith, that some of the lugs do not even touch their seats much less bear unevenly.
