My current 6-lug Weatherby is a Sporter model in 30-06. It has a walnut stock and non-fluted barrel and was advertised as weighing 6-1/4 lbs. It shoots extremely well. As far as I know, that particular model is not currently available. My daughter has glommed on it so I don't get to hunt it often. I really don't mind. Have also owned an identical rifle in 280 Rem caliber.
The Weatherby stock design fits me better than any other. I can stand erect, my eye is directly behind the scope, and the butt pad rests squarely on my shoulder. At the pusher's place...err, I mean "gun store", last week I compared Weatherby Ultra Lightweights, Kimber Montanas, and the Forbes M24B. This time the Forbes won, although the Weatherby fit me better.
