Yes, I can't bring myself to own one. For just a little more you can get a Weatherby Vanguard which looks and feels like quality and is as accurate.
See different strokes... I think the Weatherbys are gawd awful. I will never own one.
I've had three Vanguards. One was ? Weatherguard ? don't remember exactly the model name. They were all very good rifles. The wood stocked ones were HEAVY. I'll take LIGHT over heavy every day.
Yes, different strokes....
