RE: What's with the bias against Weatherby??
I have had at least 10 mark V's and they were all accurate and well made. I like that big multi lug action, and have never had a problem with them that was not resolved by Weatherby with just a phone call. They were all 270 Weatherby magnums, and handloaded as a magnum. Even after 10 years they replaced some parts for me at no charge.I am not a fan of Remington, as they would not warranty one of their 700 BDL's that came from the factory with a chamber that had been cut with a chambering tool that was chippedand stored for over a year never fired. I "used" to support Remington,but not after that incident.
I am now strictly Ruger #1's and have found their warranty to be acceptable. Their products rival Weatherby in my books. My caliber choices are still Weatherby.Roy came up with a cartridge/rifle combination that is real hard to beat. One of the smoothest that is out there, imo. Rifles are like cars. That is why there are so many different manufacturers out there. Some like Volkswagons and some like Lincolns.
