[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1315234, member: 12995"] Don't get me wrong, Weatherby builds a beautiful rifle... But like Townsend Whelen said... "Only accurate rifles are interesting." And that is one thing Weatherby has yet to prove to me, that they can build a rifle that is not super-picky about what ammo you shoot out of it, or cannot reproduce consistently accurate rifles for the price-range they set them at. Not trying to **** in anyone's wheaties, just stating what I've seen over the years. A good Weatherby is a good Weatherby, but a picky Weatherby (which seems to be more often than not) is a complete pain in the butt to get shooting. Even some Weatherby fans are brave enough to admit this. Their Mark V action is VERY strong, and is built like a tank. I hope they can figure out that freebore is not the answer, and that screwing-over your customers by building a rifle with cheaper a button-rifled Criterion barrel, for an increased price over the price of rifles that were once offered with cut-rifled Krieger barrels, is not a good selling point. I hope Weatherby sees this and realizes that money is not everything. You put out a sub-par product for the same price, as a good product you built a name and solid reputation on, is not the proper way of doing business. Saving a few shekels here and there all in the name of corporate gains is not the way to be run a business you pride yourself in with your own last name. Do Roy proud, put out the same quality products you used to produce. And while it may be beautiful on the outside, looks won't put meat in the freezer. [/QUOTE]
