Hi Ripp, thanks for your exposure on the 257 Weatherby, it's a cartridge that I really like and its performance is impressive. In Spain at the present time Weatherby is very expensive and I have compared the WSM 270 with the 257 Weatheby and its benefits do not go very far (actually the WSM 270 is very similar to the 270 Weatherby) and its price is somewhat lower. But as I said in my previous post, because I believe that money is not enough, there are reforms to carry out at home and many expenses in general. I will continue to dream of many cartridges and when I can enjoy the 338 WM that I think is a good cartridge.

In my experience, Weatherby is behind the curve a bita nd had been for some time..
There are too many GOOD rifle companies out there that offer more in terms of overall quality and accuracy for a better price point..the days of guaranteed 1 1/2 inch accuracy has been gone for over a decade or more..I know now they are offering "Range Certified" with a 1" guarantee..but in my experience, with factory ammo, which is Weatherby's claim, I have had 1 out of 6 that actually made that..and it was a 240 Weatherby...If I personally have a firearm that will only go 1 1/2" I normally get rid of it..now many are making a guarantee of 1/2" ...up to .30 caliber..
I have had and shot many Weatherby's through the years..think in their day they were considered a o.k firearm.. Not sure how/what they are thought of today, but those PH's I have talked to in Africa, typically are not fans... Personally, neither am I..but each to their own..if you like them, good for you..variety is what makes the world go around..
