Why not? Better stock, Triggertech, cerakote, better action, better safety, cheaper ammo, better ammo availability, similar performance at moderate hunting ranges... etc, etc...
.............You make good points. However it would be difficult for most Bee fans imo, to acquire a Mk5 chambered in non Weatherby rounds. Especially in a less powerful round like the Creed when ya got the 257 and 270 Wby Mags as other choices...Also and I could be wrong; Wby fans asscociate the MK5 with the higher performing Weatherby rounds...I do!

Given all of the expenses and associated expenses in the hunting sport, the differences in ammo costs between say the 257 Wby and 270 Wby vs the Creed is minimal imo..

28 Nosler,,,,300WSM,,,,338-378 Wby,,,,375 Ruger
