The notion of me going hunting with you, are about as good as me owning another 700.

Everything else you posted to use your words is nothing more than anecdotal white noise and BTW, I own far more 70s and other brands (like Browning Safari grades) than I do Weatherby.

A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
