Looking for some insight. I found a left hand Weatherby with a fiberglass stock and a Leupold M8 4x scope. It is chambered in 30-06 and the barrel has some horizontal porting at the muzzle. In looking at Weatherby's site, it is a Japanese made rifle.

Any insight on when the first lightweights were made? Currently have it on hold and was looking for any experiences with the Japanese made Weatherbys.
