[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1028842, member: 12995"] I definitely don't think they're junk, just disappointed (and confused and ****ed off) that their budget model rifles (Vanguard Sub-MOA) have a better accuracy guarantee than their top-tier rifles (Accumarks come with a 1.5" guarantee). That's kind of backwards and BS, in my opinion. I also think the Mark V actions are very strong and heavy duty. But I think they really need to improve on their barrel quality and quality control, for something that costs as much as the Mark V rifles do. 1 quick swipe down the bore with a properly sized jag and a wet patch would have instantly given away the issue that my rifle had, and they would have rebarreled it before sending it out of the factory. I don't dislike Weatherby, but it has left a pretty bad taste in my mouth. Roy Weatherby was a very smart individual. And I have alot of respect for what he was able to accomplish with the technology back then. Another personal hero of mine was P.O. Ackley. Both of them were way ahead of their time. [/QUOTE]
