[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 433762, member: 15748"] No, not a fan. Shot quite a few, never owned one, don't plan on owning one. As has already been mentioned, there's enough problems getting two locking lugs to mesh evenly and with ful contact. But nine? I know they're touted for strength, but I've seen Weatherby's blown up (badly) and no mecahnical device is truly idiot proof. That said, I'm first and foremost a competitive shooter, which means Weatherby has nothing to offer me. They cater to hunters, and that's their market. But I've never seen one on the firing line of any competitive discipline, and don't expect to anytime soon. No aftermarket items (as there are for Remington 700s or Winchester 70s) available for the competitive shooters means I'd be fighting an uphill battle, and I don't need the frustration. Bottom line is, if they offered anything in the way of an advantage, I can assure you, competitive shooters would be using them. They're not, hence my lack of interest. No offense, but to each his own! Kevin Thomas Lapua USA [/QUOTE]
