[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1043999, member: 12995"] I'm pretty sure bullet weight doesn't have anything to do with how strong an action is... Case pressures and case size do. But absolutely nothing to do with bullet size or weight. And I certainly wouldn't put Weatherby in the top-tier for accuracy. Browning, yes... Weatherby, no. I used to think highly of Weatherby, until I owned their highest priced production rifle (at the time)...The Accumark. Which, I think now they have one above it. But at the time it was supposed to be the epitome of all mass-produced rifles. And it was a complete turd. Everything about it, other than the stock (which wasn't made by Weatherby), was a complete turd. Accuracy was garbage. The trigger was garbage. And I'm not the only one who has gotten a lemon Weatherby. Lots of people have...But few are vocal about it. Most quietly trade them in towards something else. Which is what I did after 6 years of struggling with it to get it to shoot, and never could. Will I own another Weatherby? Maybe someday, if it has a custom aftermarket barrel on it. But I will never buy another new production Weatherby and expect anything out of it. I'm not saying to NOT go buy a Weatherby... I'm just telling you that from my experiences in life, just because it cost more, doesn't always mean you're getting a better deal, or a better product. [/QUOTE]
