Could it be because you thought that Kreiger might impress more people than Criterion?
Did I say it was a custom Krieger barrel with cut rifling? I was just listing out some of the names of the parts manufacturers.
And why do you suppose that Weatherby no longer constantly mentions Kreiger in it's advertising for the Mark V rifles,like they did in the past?Could it be because Kreiger did not want people to assume that the factory rifles had real Kreiger barrels?
The quote from the Kreiger website appears to support that theory.
I Don't have a new Weathreby catalog but my 2006 has it in there. They don't list all of their vendors either just some of them.
