Back years ago I owned a very early Weatherby (I beleave it was serial no 348) in 300 weatherby mag and at the same time I had a model 70 Win in 300 Weatherby mag. The Weatherby was rather pleasant to shoot and the Winchester would bring tears to your eyes. The Weatherby stock did a lot to tame recoil. Wish I had kept that Weatherby.
I couldn't agree more!! The Weatherby style may be flamboyant, loathed in some purist circles, but IT WORKS...... Plain and simple...... I have found the Heym stocks with appropriate LOP have been a marvellous godsend, and if truth be told, work quite a bit better for me than most stock designs, but I must give the nod of respect for Weatherby stock design... They work!!!
Maybe Weatherby will one day recognize that there are longish freaks out there that are bigger than the "perfect 5' 9" man that gets all the prettiest girls, can buy perfectly fitting suits directly off the rack, fits into an economy class airline seat, and are totally comfortable with a Joe Average (perfect?) 13.5" LOP...... I'm starting to sound a tad bitter to myself... Ugh!!!!.... Well, holy sh1t, somebody's got to build something someday that fits me off the rack!!!!!
