Why is there not much talk about Weatherby Rifles?

[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 1928036, member: 313"] Weatherby made its mark in the firearms world with the very strong Mark V action based rifles chambered for Weatherby's rather hot cartridges. There was certainly a lot of glitz and glitter to go along with those actions. Lots of great stock options for those who wanted a fancy sporting rifle. I personally got started with a LH Mark V in 7 WBY mag. Two reasons that I believe prevent the Mark V's from being popular with the LR crowd: 1. Honing in 9 separate lugs to get them all to bear evenly is probably impossible 2. Aftermarket support was just never there for the Mark Vs. If they had the support enjoyed by the Rem 700s it would have made a huge difference. [/QUOTE]
