RE: Weatherby Price?
The reason for this is that these rifles are free-bored, to generate the greater pressure, which generates the higher velocity.

RE: Weatherby Price?
The jump to the lands is why I believe the large for caliber bullets shoot better(less jump). I have experienced this in a half dozen different Weatherby's that I own or have owned. As far as the pressure is concerned I am puzzled by the comment of greater velocity without greater pressure. First I was under the impression that Weatherby caliber's operate under greater pressure to achieve the higher velocity. Second I have been under the impression that the freebore causes higher pressure? I am not questioning the preceding poster, only that I have had Weatherby representatives at the shot show say the exact same things that I said. The preceding poster could be correct, but I do not see how you could get greater velocity without more pressure? Tom.

The greater jump to the lands with freeboreactually results in a lower chamber pressure.Therefore if you increase the powder charge until the chamber pressure is the same,you can acheive a bit more velocity.Weatherby cartridges are listed by SAAMI and as you can see at the links provided,the weatherbychamber pressures are no higher than for the 270win or for the 8mmremmag,or several other cartridges.

RE: Weatherby Price?
I'd say it worth closer to $2,000.00. I just sold my Mark V Deluxe in .300 wby mag. I sold it for more than what I paid for it. I replaced it witha Mark V Accumark in .300 wby mag. I like the synthetic forhunting as I don't have to worry about babing the stock anymore. My first one was very accurate and this new one looks to be just as good if not slightly better. If you or your buddy don't reloadthe .300 wby mag is tough to beat. I keep my brass and sell it as I don't reload.
