Weatherby and Sako fans are loyal. You gotta give 'em that.
Rolling the clock back to the forties and fifties , if someone [ Weatherby ] introduced a cartridge/rifle combo which claimed to outdo ALL the production stuff of its' time , and looked just like all the other stuff , everyone would have called B.S.
The double radiuis shoulder and different bolt lockup could be put down to an advertising gimmick except for one thing and everyone knows what it is :
THEY WORK !!
So far , all the catastrophic rifle failures I've seen pictures of on this website have been caused by barrel obstructions but you would have to read the entire thread to learn that .
We are still waiting for the " missing nose picture " explanation and how it relates to Weatherby - or any other - rifle .
