It's always a Weatherby and (almost) always Texans. At least they could shoot.
No slam intended on those fellas... they did just fine with their rifles and all that noise and recoil... they were the exception.
Other than that type of story seems to appear on every Weatherby hater thread, I'm sure they were the exception. There's almost never any mention of the likes of Elgin Gates or AFrican PHs like Grant who've used them all of their lives..
I think we missed the point and are not looking at the same place at all. We were talking about folks with limited trigger time on a rifle because they just bought a big one because someone told them they needed it. And then they take it on a brown bear hunt.
I used the 340Wby example only as the opposite side of the equation. Obviously you bring experienced shooters into the equation and it is a whole 'nother discussion.
Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.
