Default CIL 310 = Weatherby Anschutz

Weatherby now does what CIL did in the 60s-70s: sell an Anschutz 64 action/trigger and barrel set in a very nice wood hunter stock. This rifle is dimensionally 99.8% what the old CIL 310 is.

I own the CIL and a friend the Weatherby. Having shot both I'd say they perform very well as top-end hunter/plinkers and excellent metallic silhouette hunter class rifle. Find out what ammo your CIL likes best. Mine thrives on Wolf Match MT, and likes Lapua Club, Eley Practice, and PMC Target. It also does surprisingly well with 36gr HP 500ct bulk Winchester ammo as sold by Canadian Tire.

All this to day that the Weatherby mags are Anschutz mags with a Weatherby-logoed plastic bottom cover. The Savage mags that Brownells sells as Anschutz equivalent are finicky to latch in my rifle, and these come without the plastic baseplate.
