Stubblejumper, uh, mine didn't. I don't really know what you want me to say. I was just giving my advise?? I have had good BDL's and bad. Not all of them will shoot 1/2" or even 1.5MOA accuracy. Just look at American Rifleman on their tests they do. Its a rarity that they get average subMOA accuracy out of any of their test guns. Or any of the hunting mags. They all either have bad shooters, paid off by compitition, or their are alot of people that are real lucky on this page. I have a BDL in 270 that will and always have shot subMOA groups with little or no cool down. Its a kick ass BDL with no or little work. Does that mean all BDL's will? No, its a matter of factory tolerance. Just hope when they hammer forged a barrel, you get one with the least amounts of inpurities. Hope when they hammer forged the barrel, they heated it up to the proper temp so the micro stress cracks wasn't so bad. People are extremely emotional over car brands and guns, I see. I don't have any weatherby's, but I believe they are one well built gun. Maybe one of the best. Just hate the dad gone freebore and belt. And even with a bull barrel, that don't guarantee you much. I talked a freind into getting a Sendero since my PSS shot so well. He is disappointed with the 1.5" groups. So he is sending back to remington. All I knew to tell him, is mine shot well. And if I had plenty of cash, I would only buy the best. You wouldn't see me with any factory BDL, my friend. Only thing factory might be the action. Krieger, lilja, or hart would be the only barrel that I would shoot. Until then, I have to wish for a little luck in my truck and gun purchases and shoot sub $1000 rifles.
