[QUOTE="Ronald W Schaefer, post: 1928569, member: 109378"] I love Weatherby rifles and I have always had great customer service for over 40 years. We have a Mk V in .257 Wby my wife has shot since 1976, now she has a Weatherby Vanguard Camilla in 7mm-08 that is her new favorite and I have a German built Mk V .300 Mag that still looks like it just came out of the box--serial #21111. We just took the Camilla and the old German Rifle to Africa and they really laid 'em down. Recall Wby cartridges were designed all about extreme velocity and before the great bullets we have today, synthetic stocks and LR optics...hence the belts and the free bore...that made them "exotic". I think because of the MV V action they aren't usually tapped for custom builds and LR shooting. That said all mine wear a Viper Vortex 4-16X44 HS-T scope verified to about 800 yds (range limit) and are mostly used for hunting only out to about 500 yds. I think Wby rifles are well priced for the quality and niche calibers etc. If you want a nice stick of wood you will most easily find it on a Weatherby rifle. [/QUOTE]
