There was definitely an axe to grind with weatherbys in the past. They were great as polar bear guns and were once the most popular gun up in Kotz. The sheep guides in the Chugach and South Wrangells in the 60s and 70s hated them because you could gum them up with silt and they were done. Whether it was Knutson, Wilson, Harrower or Want, they felt that the MarK V action would get gummed up in glacial country. On the north side of the Wrangells they were well liked.
