Default RE: WEATHERBY' S????

First off Weatherbys are made in the USA by one of the largest Military small arm manufacturers out there(SACO)... They are worth the money if you don' t crazy buying all the extras(fancy wood ,engraving etc)... My favorite right now is the stainless steel Fibermark which can be bought for about 100 bucks or so more than a Browning A bolt SS synthetic buy one of these and you will have a gun for a lifetime. I could really get into it with some of these anti-Japanese gun types but I am not going to waste my valuable typing fingers I will just say this Wars been over for 60 years guys and we won and today they are a better ally than the French and Germans.[:@]

Every MKV I have owned has been a quality rifle...great fit and finish and in my opinion the smoothest bolt action of any made to date and one of the quietest smoothest safeties you' ll ever handle. They tend to have long throats which supposedly affects accuracy but you couldn' t tell it by the guns I have owned every last one was a good solid shooter.


I have been researching what to buy new and after looking at Remingtons,Winchesters,Savages and Rugers they are either cursed with a cheap synthetic stock or a worthless hunk of wood called a stock and their actions are sloppy and cheap bottom metal and not a one of them leaves me with a feeling of quality.
