Sure Weatherby gets it right by chance every once and awhile. Up the ante and put a better guarantee than 1.5 MOA on all of them. Actually a common complaint is that Weatherby rifles are "clunky". Swings and handles like a 2x10. There are a few exceptions such as the standard actioned UL's. Ugly lines still, and Europeans in general hate the tacky look of the Weatherby, so does that make it true?
And I wouldn't make that bet, I can shoot as your dad has seen, and my pet rifle puts 5 TTSX's into less the .4's. 3 averages in the low .3's and will dip into the .2's frequently enough I need not complain. It shoots SST's even better. Ask Rick F. It cost less than your Lasermark, and was built by Bill Leeper.
You and your boy need to put a little more fact behind your statements, and use some tact in retorting so it seems less like kicking sand in the box. Some people do have respect for you.
And I would bet that more people in the industry world round have heard of D'arcy Echols than Ralph. Part of the reason I could afford and get a stocked rifle from Ralph by this time next year and I'd be lucky to get a Legend from D'arcy buy this time twoi years from now.
BTW McMillians, Browns, Bansner, Rimrock, etc, are hand laid, not injection molded, and can be hand checkered and worked like Chuck says.
The European snobbery is also a little silly; Echols, Fisher, Beisen, Miller, these men have built rifles to rival the prettiest euro, and all on Mausers too.
Enjoy your Weatherby.
) up against any of your 24\30 cal rifles at the range for Accuracy.
