[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1315277, member: 70559"] MudRunner2005, For sure I agree with you about how picky some Weatherbys can be. I have one. It seems you have imputed to Roy Weatherby what you want. I had a friend, the late John Lachuk, who was Roy's friend when Roy was selling cars. He also was an avid hunter so followed Roy's life. Another guy I worked with was the late Robert Klienguenther who was a gunsmith for Weatherby Company. Both of these gentlemen said Roy was not interested in anything better than 1 1/2" at 100 yards with factory ammo. At least Ed Weatherby is more in the money business and produces synthetic stocks and lots of options that are more for function than beautiful wood. He also sets the more accurate rifles to the side so that those customers who are interested in better accuracy have the opportunity to buy one that might be better than some of the others. I personally talked to Roy about the .30-378 and 7-.300. He was not the least bit interested in either. Ed came out with the .30-.378, .338-378, and 6.5-.300. There is a difference at Weatherby now.
