[QUOTE="smithjasona1978, post: 1310959, member: 91693"] The fit and finish is absolutely perfect on every single one that I have seen. And Weatherby guarantees .99 moa on all of the series 2. I have one in 300 wby mag. Still doing load development on it. I think part of the reason that they are so good is because they are made by Howa under contact for Weatherby. I would bet every gun I own that if Weatherby started building them in house that the quality would go down. Now having said that let me elaborate on my statement. I am not saying that Howa is better at building guns that Weatherby. I mean that because they are under contract they demand better quality control than they would provide on there own. I learned this lesson by dealing with a certain yellow monster heavy equipment manufacturer. I worked for a non union company under contract to build the tracks that the equipment runs on. And I saw first hand on the spec prints that we were held to much higher tolerance on the stuff we bulit for them than the ones they built at there own factory. WAY higher tolerance. And I think that it is all because of the contract. When the bid comes out, they have a specific set of parameters that they want met. Then once the contract gets signed that company is bound by that contract to provide the quality control that was agreed to on the contract. Permanently. The base company is not under any type of contract. They are building a product for themselves and therefore are free to change or lower their QC any time they please. [/QUOTE]
