why are YOU so dependent on your WEATHERBY RIFLE
now let me point out I really like my weatherby 340 and 378 rifles and do about 80% or more of my ELK hunting with a fibermark 340 weatherby.
ive had a 257 weatherby Ive used for mule deer, and its an excellent rifle also,
I love the results, the accuracy is great, I would not change much, and the 378 wby is probably one of the few rifles I would trust to hunt dangerous game with, and If your only going to have one or two ELK rifles Id strongly suggest a 300-340 weatherby fibermark as potentially one of the best on the market, but in my opinion its a darn fine TOOL that DEPENDABLY gets the job done, but its NOT something that's vastly superior to everything ELSE that's available,maybe its because I look at it as a TOOL not an art object, and I like the utility of the fibermark, not the flashy wood stocks, its a darn fine rifle, its a bit expensive but a good value and its given me excellent service for many years, so much so that when my sons got old enough to hunt I bought THEM 340 weatherbys.
but I talk to some guys, in the field or at the range and they either HATE or LOVE WEATHERBY rifles,its almost, like a religious choice,and they seem to have almost a religious conviction either for or against the brand while other brands don,t seem to evoke the same response, and after talking to many of the detractors I find they have never even owned one, but have strong negative feelings none the less.
while with some other guys it seems like if their weatherby was broken/or stolen they would be forced to give up hunting until it was replaced and they could not use a BROWNING, SAKO,COLT SAUER , or maybe a REMINGTON without feeling as though they were being punished.
can you explain it! I can,t!
