[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 45954, member: 313"] Many years ago I got caught up in the Weatherby zip & glitz Mark V rifles. The wood stocks would move (warp, swell or what-have-you) almost every year causing the pressure points to create major accuracy problems. I have sent the rifles back to Weatherby on more than one occasion. Weatherby did correct the pressure point problems but the accuracy would not hold from season to season. Eventually, I brought the rifle to Wally Hart. I had him float the barrel and bed the action. Boy did that turn out to be a [B]bad move[/B]. The rifle shot so poorly that I eventually sent it back to Weatherby again. They would not work with the hogged out stock and recommended a replacement. You can imagine what that cost. I had them install a new stock and sold the rifle at a significant loss. Weatherbys that have thin barrels, pressure points and wood stocks will never find there way back into my rifle cabinet. I might add that Hart scoped the bore and told me that it was [B]loaded[/B] with tool marks. Just my experience with Weatherby rifles. VH [/QUOTE]
