[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1089388, member: 12995"] Give a call to Bartlein. A nice stainless 26" 1:9 barrel with their 5R rifling would restore some excellent life to that old Weatherby. You will be much better off putting an aftermarket barrel on your Weatherby, as their components quality has drastically taken a dive since your rifle was made. All the newer Weatherby barrels are cheap button-rifled Criterion barrels, and are no longer cut-rifled Kriegers, like what used to be put on the higher-end rifles. After my experience with Weatherby, I will not be buying another new one. But I would not be opposed to buying a cheap used Mark V Deluxe and rebarreling with a nice aftermarket barrel. [/QUOTE]
