[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1315103, member: 12995"] I will never own another Weatherby and feel they are overpriced for the lack of quality you get. On the outside, they are nice, but they use crappy barrels, and their factory-set freebore is WAY too long to get any kind of accuracy out of a rifle that is picky. If it shoots factory ammo good, it will shoot handloads, but if it is picky with factory ammo, then you will probably never get it to shoot like you want it to. This is just my experiences with owning and constantly fighting with an AccuMark that was a lemon for 6 years. And Weatherby did nothing about it, despite the "guarantee". So I eventually traded it off, because the whole rifle was garbage...The trigger, barrel, stock, etc...The action was the only part worth keeping, so I decided best just to scrap the whole thing and start over with another Rem 700 5R Milspec. If you are hell-bent on a Weatherby, I would actually recommend a Vanguard over a MK V rifle in stock form. [/QUOTE]
