[QUOTE="Doublezranch, post: 1700428, member: 32664"] I was bitten by the Weatherby bug when I was looking for belted magnums to wildcat for my children. Yes, my children. Starting with my oldest son Zayne, on his 15th birthday I presented him with a I wildcatted and improved 378 Weatherby known now as the 375 Zayne. Same story for my daughter. On her 15th birthday I presented her with a wildcatted and improved a 340 Weatherby known as the 340 Zaylea Ann. My 10 year old is getting a wildcatted and improved 300 Weatherby known as the 300 Zandyr. We just came back from Wyoming and Zaylea shot a submoa group at 1k with her rifle. She is 110 pounds. These rifles are heavy (14 lbs) and braked. There is still a considerable recoil. The 375 Zayne has over 90 ft. lbs. felt recoil without the brake. Do not give up an opportunity to acquire a rifle because of recoil. Everyone has a different level of recoil they can handle. The reputation of the Weatherby rifles is they will kick you into oblivion. That is not always the case. If a 15 year old can shoot a case that holds 144 grains of powder and a 400 grain bullet, shoot it comfortably and accurately, there is no reason why you cannot do the same. Components are no more expensive than other components of the same calibers. The better the brass, the more money you are going to spend. The Mark V action with the 9 lug is arguabley the strongest factory action made. These are extremely good parts that are ultra strong, will hold pressure, and will last forever. Acquiring another Weatherby is a no brainer in my book. Jayson [/QUOTE]
