[QUOTE="B23, post: 716209, member: 13222"] First Weatherby I ever bought was a MkV 7Wby Mag. I was still in high school and spent every pennie I had to purchase it. Was probably the prettiest rifle I've ever owned hands down. But, "pretty" was all it was. Unfortunately, like yours, 2in. groups were on really good days. I don't think mine ever shot as good as yours does. But, I was 16 and all I cared about at the time was that I had a Weatherby MkV and how pretty it was. So I feel your pain for sure. Had a good friend about 10 years ago that bought one, his was about the same way as yours and mine. He actually tried to make his shoot well too. He had it bedded and a new crown cut and it didn't really change anything. I'm not sure why they don't seem to shoot very well and I'm certainly not saying they are ALL like that but when I hear grumblings about Weatherby's that shoot very poorly, they're usually 7mm Wby Mags. Will be interesting to hear what some of the guys here come up with for help for you. There has to be someone out there that has a decent shooting one from the factory or knows how to make one off the shelf shoot well. [/QUOTE]
