[QUOTE="baldhunter, post: 2527998, member: 11853"] I had a 1980 Ruger tang safety that had a similar issue.It was probably one of the Wilson barrel that were known to have some accuracy issues.This barrel had several voids in the barrel and even in the chamber.It was just bad steel throughout the intire barrel.It was pitted all the way around the inside of the barrel about a half inch down the barrel from where the cartridge was chambered.It would play havoc on the jacket of the bullet and it would load up with copper everytime it was shot.It wouldn't shoot much better than a two inch group.I got tired of wasting ammo and ended up putting a new barrel on it.I wouldn't shoot it.I'd contact Weatherby and see what they say.
