Yep, the Weatherby Haters and Leupold Haters are cut from the same cloth.
There are two kinds of them: Those who have Weatherby rifles and those who wish they did….
In today’s manufacturing and quality control environment, anything can be out of specs or faulty.
My 6.5-300 Wby has less than two full boxes of ammo through it, yet I have 100% confidence that it will go bang and the bullet will go where aimed. I always take a backup rifle on out of state elk hunts where I have a place to store my spare. I never leave a firearm in a vehicle for the thieves to pluck. No, no. You must have 37 rounds of testing. Any more and then you're just wasting money and any less you're just a fool lol

6 rounds from sight in to hunting???? I was scratching my head on that too. I don't see a problem with it. Hell, just 2 weeks ago my wife drove to work in a car with 5 miles on it.
What if Jessie's girl is Stacy's mom, and her phone number is 867-5309

I have 4 rounds thru my Mark V and I am taking it hunting in a little over a month. Should I be worried?

Hope nothing breaks on it. Its a 257 bee and you know how they burn barrels and are inaccurate as hell>

I guess I’d be group #3. Owned a couple MK V’s, a 7mm and a 257. Good enough guns but didn’t rate as keepers. 2 more if you count Orion shotguns. I liked them but they also went down the road. I guess I’m Non-Weatherby- Binary. Or something like that. Edited to add: I shot em all more than 6 times. Thousands of rounds through a SKB Orion 12ga.

…which is very weird given that Weatherbys are known for having a long freebore🧐

Their 6.5 RPM does not have the typical long Wby freebore. They’ve made a point of saying that in the write ups on it.

But in the best Campfire tradition, once it gets past a few of replies....things go in the toilet pretty quickly. Mostly the work of bogus OP's, trollers and multi-handle types. In 10 more replies, somebody will bloviate about someones family, cheek weld, what they'd use in Antarctica or some other moronic blah-blah. "This one time...at band camp...."

It's been 20 or more years since I've had a Weatherby MK V. I'm just curious about what type and style of trigger the current production is using.
I don't need to know about Leupold products nor want to.

Factory ammo is expensive lol. I mounted a SWFA 10X milquad on it. First two shots were nearly touching and a click or two on one knob put me where i wanted to be. Next three shots from three different shooters were in a tight group. I suppose this doesn't pass Campfire accuracy but Im easy to impress. There is no loose powder in the bolt. Hope to hear back from Weatherby tomorrow. I have 60 rounds of the 127 grain LRX... it has a slightly shorter coal... might need to go that route once the bolt is sorted out.

The ejector pulled the brass out dumping powder into the breech and leaving the bullet. Oh boy. Took a cleaning rod and ran it down the muzzle and a gentle tap dropped the bullet. Hunted two seasons with my Sako 85 doing the same thing. Carried my cleaning rod to & from the blind every time. It was my fault though. My loads shot so accurately & fast with bullet jammed hard into the lands, I was remiss to address it. Finally did & now it is back to proper function.
