In the past year I've picked up a LH Ultralight in 7 Rem Mag and a Fibermark in 30-06. Like the feel, now just need to take them to the field. Just something about the feel of them.

That would be me. Gotta be a hater in the bunch.  I thought I was a loner?

Weatherby would sell many more if they dropped that god awful stock shape. It needs to go the way of the leisure suit and shag carpeting.
I have two in Brown stocks. Not bad rigs but a bit on the heavy side. I also think the bottom metal release design on the Japanese made versions I own is an accident waiting to happen.

BWalker, Weatherby would sell many more if they dropped that god awful stock shape. It needs to go the way of the leisure suit and shag carpeting. I doubt that. Before I ever owned a Weatherby, when the 8mm Rem Mag came out, I had a 7 Rem Mag rechambered for a 7-8mm Rem Mag. It pounded me. I machined a flat place on the stock and glued a chunk of balsa wood on and began firing and carving and sanding and firing until I was no longer hammered by the recoil. Then I saw a Weatherby and realized all I did was copy ol' Roy's experiment. The two recent stocks I purchased for light rifles, a Proof Research and an MPI, cost about an extra "C" note to get that shaped added to the stock. Both these stocks started life weighing twelve ounces. Now, with the recoil pad, trigger guard, inletting, and swivels they are about twenty-four ounces. There is no way I would have a hunting rifle if it did not have the Weatherby shape. I will agree with you about the release. Both my stocks are like Remington ADL's.

Don't like 'em, either. Give me one and I'd own it just long enough to sell it to buy something I like. Old Roy sure saw a bunch of you boys coming!

Like Fotis, I own many Mk V's and have a 6.5 300 in route. I find no fault with them.

Which stock fits you best depends on your build. The weatherby shape seems to pound me harder and have more muzzle rise than a straight comb stock. In addition the square forend feels poor in the hand. The fact remains however, that many people find the weatherby stock atrocious looking.

Like anything else in life some people like them and some don't. I have two, a .257 Deluxe and a .300 Accumark. Both are accurate. The .300 goes with me everywhere.

I have a Deluxe in 300wby and an accumark in 270wby. Both shoot great. They are both heavy and long. The deluxe handles better than the Accumark. Fit and finish on both are excellent. I dont get much use out of either. I would probably sell or trade out of the Accumark if I could find someone who couldnt live without it. But I doubt I could part with the Deluxe whether I ever hunt with it again or not.

I love the cartridges and the look but the MKV doesn't fit me very well. I deal with it best I can... but she sure is purrty......
Why does a man who is 50 pounds overweight complain about a 10 pound rifle being too heavy?
