That is one of the , if not the , sturdiest action ever built . It's the only action that could withstand the .358 BOS . (.378 Wetherby necked down to .358) The key to it's strength is it's square barrel and receiver threads !

I just came upon your post. Certainly not an expert, but it appears to me that the stock isn't factory for the Model 30. I have a couple of late 30 models and the stock doesn't appear as yours.
Yet really, does that make any difference? It looks OK esthetically for a 'custom' rifle. If it fits and you can shoot the rifle well, those would seem to be the important factors. Also, the stock lines and magazine capacity suggest perhaps the 'pot bellied' magazine of the Model 1917 military configuration. Or perhaps it's just old eyes interpreting!
Congratulations on your new 'magnum rifle'!

Just as an aside, my own 375 H&H is in a Sako L61 bolt action with 20" barrel and Mannlicher stock! Perhaps good for bears but also a bear to shoot too and with muzzle-flash capable of starting brush fires out some yards!
