Back in the early 1960's I was another one of those kids who couldn't stop staring at those Weatherby ads with the rifles that had that high gloss stock finish, the high comb and rakish buttstock profile, the spacers, etc. At that time my young eyes had never seen any rifle that looked like that. It was almost hypnotic; and then to read and re-read the ad text praising all that high velocity, high power stuff made me think that this must be the ultimate rifle on the planet. By the time I was old enough and had the financial means needed for something like that I was too busy getting other guns that I just had to have. In other chamberings that worked just fine for what I needed. Never did get around to that Weatherby but if I wasn't already a .25-06 owner/fan I'd probably be lookin at a 257 Weatherby.
