[QUOTE="Guest, post: 77555"] Buffalo Bob, ever hear of a .308? They'll shoot far. They can easily take a deer at 600 yards. Would you call them barrel burners? Also, if you have a quality match grade barrel of good heavy contour, it will last longer than one of those "weatherby anarexia barrels. (I called them "pencil" barrels in another post and wanted to stay original) [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] Did you know that Krieger made them specify that the barrels are Krieger "Creiterion". They did not want weatherby to make people think that they were getting a custom Krieger barrel. You have to pay extra for that. You also have to pay extra to have the action trued??? 1.5" groups at 100 yards! My Ithaca deerslayer shotgun does that. Weatherby likes to make people think that if you buy one of their rifles you can immediately shoot big game out to 500 yards just by following their drop chart because they are so fast and powerful. Lighter, thin barreled, ultra high velocity rifles will have shorter barrel life and shoot less accurate than a heavier rifle with a larger contour barrel using heavier bullets. Can anyone honestly say that the weatherby is a better rifle than a Sendero for a lot less money? [/QUOTE]
