[QUOTE="jarnold37, post: 2247995, member: 29241"] I became interested in accuracy early on. Weatherby seemed to be the horsepower king in each class and realized that Waeatherby chamberings have about 1/4" jump to the riflings which allowed a peak in pressure before bullet contacted the riflings. Even though their velocities were a bit higher, it sacrificed in another aspect. A building li der of very accurate rifles said you can seldom have benchrest type accuracy when the bullet jumps a 1/4" inch and slams into the rifling. I always leaned more towards accuracy and the reason the Weatherby rifle was expensive was the attention to the beautiful stock. That is good for some, but I thought that extra money was better spent on optics, triggers, quality barrels etc. But from a financial standpoint, the beautiful Weatherby will most likely appreciate in value as time goes on, but I have a different interest which is accuracy [/QUOTE]
