Mine is a Zeil Dialyt in a Stoeger mount. The Stoeger mount looks (to me) identical to the Paul Jaeger mounts - was there some connection? Yes, it's a 30-06.
I don't remember the Sedgley's number - it's down in the shop and it's raining, but I'll check and find out this afternoon.
I've read that Sedgley "sourced his barrels from Winchester" along with the Winchester buttplates it seems he often used. I'm not enough of a Winchester scholar to know if this is possible. When did the Featherweight first appear? Did it have this barrel form from the start? The thing that confuses me is that I thought the F'weight had something like a 20" or 22" barrel, and mine is a 24", as well as I think every other Sedgley I've seen. And it's not a "featherweight" barrel - it's heavy - heavier than my (pretty heavy) standard weight Krieger barrel in a smaller caliber (7mm).
Doesn't seem to add up to me.
