No animals, or no pictures?
No big game animals so far, but hoping that will change soon! I did have a vicious squirrel charge me many years ago that required a shoulder shot to anchor him
Do you mean to tell us that you have all of those Weatherby rifles, and you have been so strongly defending Weatherby for so many pages on this thread, and you haven't even killed a single animal with one of your Weatherby rifles?
I at least killed a dozen or so animals with Weatherby rifles before passing judgment on them, yet you are here bragging up the Mark V as a hunting rifle, and you have yet to kill a single big game animal with one.
That is truly priceless.
Just how many big game animals have you yourself actually killed?

I have been shooting, collecting and reloading for 25yrs. No where did I mention bragging about hunting
We where discussing accuracy and the love of the Mk V rifle.
I guess that we can take that to mean that you have never killed a big game animal.
But not at all unexpected for someone who is not even a hunter to brag up a rifle that was designed specifically as a hunting rifle.

Wow, you really are a classless act
I must remember to sell all my "hunting" rifles right away because I haven't shot any big game....
What you can do is stop pretending that you know more about hunting rifles than professional hunters, that actually use their guns to hunt.
Do you realize how silly the statements below sound coming from a non hunter?
And the one below is pretty meaningless as well, since the PHs are referring to incidents that happen under actual hunting conditions, not at the range.
You don't hunt, yet you are giving cartridge recommendations for hunting.
Now if you want to continue going on and on about how nice your Weatherby rifles look, and how good they make you feel,by all means, carry on doing so, but at least the people that have read this thread now know that you aren't a hunter,and haven't killed any big game animals.That being the case, people are now aware that any recommendations or opinions that you post about hunting rifles or hunting cartridges, are totally baseless, and shouldn't be taken as having come from a source with any credibility on the subject.

None so far, but feel free to post your pictures of kills with a Weatherby
There was only ever one very fancy MarkV that rolled into my safe as an inheritance. I sold it ASAP as I never would have disgraced a big game animal by shooting one with it. I always hated that rifle...
I could show you pictures from a lifetime of hunting with other rifles, but this is a Weatherby thread.

I know quite a bit about rifles. I didn't realize oh might great white professional hunter that one had to shoot an animal before they can know anything
Do you realize how pompous your statements sound? Do you drive a car? Have you ever driven in a professional race? People do actually own MANY firearms and have never hunted. You post on many forums belittling anyone who even mentions Weatherby. It shows that all you intend is sh*t disturbing.
And you make derogatory comments on rifles just because YOU can't get them to shoot properly.
And we all know how credible your opinions are, being a professional hunter and all
I actually own or have owned all the calibers that I commented on and many many more and have shot them and reloaded for them. But I guess the chrono lies and when the bullet hits a game animal instead of a target, the bullet stops working..that must be it
I will let you get back to your professional hunting...
I never posted that I was a professional hunter, but I have killed ten different species of big game animals, totaling around a hundred animals. I have also been present to personally witness more than that killed by other people that I hunt with. So I guess compared to you I do have a lot more experience to base my opinions about hunting rifles and cartridges on. Actually most people on this forum have more actual hunting experience than you do, and accordingly, I give much more credibility to their opinions about hunting rifles and cartridges, than I would ever give to yours.
Just like you,I enjoy looking at pictures of big game animals that have been harvested over the years, but the difference is, that when I look at those pictures, some of those animals were actually killed by me.
By the way, I did receive PMs from forum members thanking me for exposing you for what you are. To those people, you are very welcome.

Never been a fan of the rifles. The overgloss finish and humpback stock not to mention gawdy machine checkering has always turned me off.
I do like the 257 Wby, the others I have little interest in, but to each their own. Thankfully it's available in non- Weatherby rifles.

I'm not a real Weatherby guy, because I only have three, don't think they possess any magical qualitys, and usually use something else. Be that as it may, they are solid rifles that happens to fit me very well. My .300 isn't even a Weatherby cartridge anymore, but that didn't stop it from killing 10 big game animals in the first year of being a .300 Win. One of those was my son's first moose. He doesn't shave very often, but manages to scratch down the occasional truckload of deer with his .257. Please don't tell him that I foisted an inferior piece of junk off on him, because the kid actually does believe that his does possess magical properties and kills everything it is pointed at. Hate to pop his bubble, or shatter the fragile illusions of youth.

Great pictures and also looks like good companions
. Thanks for sharing.Nobody is forcing you to read my posts.
As for my hunting, I never claimed to be a great hunter,many other forum members have killed many more species and much more game than I have. Many forum members take their hunting or shooting much more seriously than I do, and as a result, some of them are far more experienced in many areas of the sport than I am. However, if I hadn't ever killed a big game animal, and I wasn't a hunter, I certainly wouldn't be giving advice on hunting rifles or cartridges.
