[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 350409, member: 22335"] The kicker is that you put the term "lightweight" in there. That's both good and bad, in a way. Why? At the price point you are looking at, light weight "usually" means lower quality. True lightweight rifles (i.e. those built on purpose to perform well and be lightweight) are probably 50-100% more expensive than the rifles you mention. Personally I would pick the Weatherby and know that yes, it weighs more than the Tikka T3. I've handled both and with the Weatherby's already-guaranteed accuracy plus the upgraded stock, I think it's worth it. The Tikka is lighter and does state a 1 MOA accuracy guarantee, but I've never been a fan of their small port and the stock is not in the same league as the stock on a Wby Sub-MOA. And as already noted, Weatherby's customer service is excellent. [/QUOTE]
