[QUOTE="fairchaser, post: 5642893, member: 10373"] I’ve never owned a Weatherby but they are fine rifles. Unless you hand load the ammo is expensive for the Weatherby calibers and sometimes hard to find. For the price, I haven’t seen the benefits of owning one over other high quality rifles. Maybe the new 307 will fit that bill. It’s a strange name btw and they don’t explain how they decided on it. It’s like it’s a 30 caliber ie .308 minus 1. Weird! Is it a new caliber or new rifle? Lol The ease in how the bolt breaks down is cool. Most hunters have never disassembled their bolts and cleaned them or replaced the spring. Both are necessary. You would still need a tool for the spring but at least you could clean and oil it. The fluted barrel looks cool and reduces weight but fluting creates stress in the barrel and could affect accuracy. Weatherby used to guarantee 1 MOA accuracy and send the 3 shot target with the gun. I wonder if they still do that? [/QUOTE]
