Default RE: WEATHERBY' S????

I guess the fact that one has a spring steel ejector...3 piece brazed bolt body vs a one piece bolt assembly that is field strippable...a true extractor and a safer trigger and safety mechanism(that locks in safety mode) great customer service and a more substantial action to boot is of no consequence to a few on this board. They would rather go out and re-engineer a cheap Remington and add a Sako extractor... rebarrel it and then have the nerve to call it a custom rifle.
Remingtons cost an average of 650 bucks in my part of the world that is not to far off from a Base MKV. I have owned just a few MKV' s(5) and only one (lightweight version) ever saw the inside of a gunshop.... BTW the MKV' s in standard calibers shoot extremely well they may in many cases easily surpass the Weatherby calibers accuracy wise even when they have a cheap synthetic stock on them . Accuracy is one piece of the equation but too many people make too much of it..
