Driftrider I have done just that on more than one Weatherby and they do not all make contact. I never actually sat down and calculated the percentage of contact but some do not even touch.

Yes the Weatherby is a strong action, just like most all of them, but I also agree that is way over priced and offers no real value over other action designs. Unless you just like the looks of all those lugs.[&:]

Maybe I'll sit down tomorow and actually measure and calculate just how much contact Weatherbys lugs actually make with their seats.
