[QUOTE="adk hunter, post: 2920157, member: 105492"] My friend is a Weatherby fan. I steered him to the .280AI. He was drooling over the 6.5 weatherby. He saw one and bought it. We were going to do some load development here. He had shot it a few times. Went to rack first round in and wouldn't close. Maybe the round wasn't to spec. Next one was hard but chambered and shot. Rough extraction! He said it just needs breaking in. Try another. Nope!! I said it is already broken! He sent it back and they did something. Came back good to go. Turn around time was excellent but stressful right before his hunt. It carries like a dream! He killed his moose and guide said it was one of the fastest deaths he's seen. (Newfoundland) His son shot dandy wt. a few weeks later. I don't think you can cut and thread it back as far as 20'' with the fluted barrel. Perhaps something to check? Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
