This can put the PH life's in risk at worse or just cause a lot of tracking troubles, wounded animals and such. They do not shoot well(even with a lesser cartridge), do not understand hunting, EXPECT the record book animal and such. The trouble comes from the money made, want-to-be hunters that have to have the pretty and fancy(expensive) rifle(and usually the scope) to try and impress everyone else. They are the lumberjacks(so to speak) that understand the rifle/cartridge, pick the proper cartridge for the game and location, AND pick a proper bullet for the situation. They are not the SCI hall of famers that cause the bad rap on the Weatherby. This is the trouble with too many Weatherby owners. The trouble comes from when you have someone in high heels and a mini skirt trying to do lumberjack work. What you say about a rifle being a platform is true. It is a "Hunting" and used by a "born Hunter" according to my PH and people who know me. It is the cheapest MK V they make with syn stock and not highly blued barrel/action. Working people often look at those rifles "look at me", show-off rifles and not "using tools"Īll that said I have a 257W that I really like.
WEATHERBY MARK V SYNTHETIC PLUS
All ego and no skill.Īll the above works against the Weatherby name plus the super shiny(no help when hunting) fancy stocks and such on many of their rifles. Especially when they are more concerned about drinking and bragging what a great person they are, a great hunter with mounts on their office walls, who they know, how much money they make and how they are better than most others. Money made hunters are not really hunters in my eyes and leave a bad taste(impression) with most people in camp. After all they had the rifle bore-sighted at the gun shopīorn hunters can show up with a Weatherby and after proving themselves leave a good impression. I have personally run into hunters who show up with brand new camo, a new rifle and scope(usually expensive), looking for a record book or at least super bragging animal(usually want it tied to a tree close to camp and the truck) and then complain about everything but their poor shooting ability if (Actually when) they miss. They are enjoyable to be with and when things go wrong accept it as part of hunting.
WEATHERBY MARK V SYNTHETIC HOW TO
They also know how to hunt and usually the tape measure is not the most important thing. Put another way -as my PH said-"There are born hunters and then there are money made hunters" The born hunters know their firearm/bow and (have practiced)know how to use it. Their hunting/shooting skills often are minimal. Weatherby is a high dollar product compared to many other brands-even considering a non-Weatherby cartridge in a Weatherby rifle.Īdd to that is the fact that some Weatherby owners I have know are(Status, try to impress) type of people. 257 shooting better with tuned hand loads but you never know.Think about it.
But that was a day when my boy scout troup of novices made him look real bad by shooting three inch disks at 500 meters all afternoon with my Rem Sendero 25-06 and my. 257 Wby had a tough time hitting 12 inch disks at 300 meters and he gave up trying to hit one at 500 meters. He almost cried however to find that his new. He hit it with each of four shots with 180g Accubonds so that isn't too bad. My buddy has a Mark V in 30-378 that he used to shoot a mountain caribou at 727 yards. I was disappointed that I couldn't hit a prairie dog or a fox past 200 yards but I got over it since I have other very accurate rifles. All subsequent shots are a crap shoot but it is fine for hitting deer and antelope out to 300 yards and that is all I use it for. Mine is very accurate for placement of the first shot with a cold barrel. Pressure from the fore arm keeps it pointing the same direction as the first shot but I wouldn't expect better than a three inch group. It wanders around as it heats up following the first shot.
WEATHERBY MARK V SYNTHETIC FREE
The Ultra-Light Mark V has an extremely light barrel and consequently it is not free floated.
Wby doesn't guarantee sub-MOA on the Mark Vs though. Most will shoot a one to two inch group or so with well tuned hand loads.
