Is there anyone here that can post a Weatherby pamphlet? Maybe the ones among us who are in the trade can point out gross misleading errors in an effort to throw up the 15 yard bullshit flag. If I knew how, I would, but I never look at a computer that I don't think of a snake..........Kingpin ------------- There are times when a normal man must, spit in his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. |

Kingpin I can't help with a pamphlet, but try the link I included and build your own custom rifle WBY style. I came up with 10k really easy. I can have a hell of a rifle built for 10k. I quess some must use this service for it to be listed. http://www.weatherby.com/custom_shop/HGI/index.cfm?path=A - http://www.weatherby.com/custom_shop/HGI/index.cfm?path=A |

Of course . . . made in Minnesota by Acrometal . . . NOT just actions . . . rifles . . . have been for a few years . . . before that in Maine by SACO Defense . . . AND before that in Japan . . . by Howa [who else?] . . . since the 1970s. They DO get some barrels - for some models - from Krieger [Whoops! CRITERION!] Check out http://www.acrometal.com - http://www.acrometal.com Dang it Dan . . . that's CUO . . . or CUP or . . . no . . . I forgot! Maybe it is OCB . . . yep . . . that's it! Weatherby . . . Weatherby . . . Weatherby . . . yep . . . OCB! |
The Weatherby Vanguard is STILL made by Howa. I think it is their better rifle . . . and a helluva lot less expensive. Get the one with the walnut stock from Walmart . . . $480 . . . has the same accuracy guarantee as a $5000 custom Mark V . . . does anything else really matter?

| Is this the color you said not use? Heh heh! Kind of dull . . . back to red . . . there . . . that is better . . . matches your Chevy! Hotter than Hades today . . . and supposed to be hotter tomorrow! Geez! I am on the bottom floor . . . slightly under-ground. Much much cooler than upstairs. Just created a Final Exam for my class at Ft. Carson. Dog has been in her cage watchin' . . . and keepin' cool. Gonna give tests to the students - collect papers - and call it over! Their class is a couple of weeks shorter than at the main campus. A glass of iced tea will be just right! |

"They are in Japan. They made both the Mark 5 and the Vangaurd.it's hard When I had my Howa rebarreled the Smith who did it told me exactly the same thing in regards to my rifle and runout. He had a heck of a time pulling the barrel. |

Well I guess this means that no one can post the pamphlets so that the true facts can be brought forward. That, or maybe someone doesn't want them posted. If I was a college professor, I'll just bet I could do it. Then again, maybe I'd be afraid to do it because of the harassment...........Kingpin ------------- There are times when a normal man must, spit in his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. |
