Mac, The bloke that owned those gold plated Wbys could have walked into H&H and bought every rifle with the cash in his pocket. He was a Texas oil man and one of the origianl investors in Weatherby.
MIKE,the guy you are speaking of was Clayton Williams, from Odessa, Texas, and as I've often said the amount of money in your bank account, doesn't mean you have taste! Williams is the guy who was running for governer of Texas, against Ann Richards, and made the political suiside statement on national TV,speaking him winning the election,and his opinion of what Richards should do. QUOTE "This is like RAPE, if you find it is enevitable, just relax, and enjoy it!" UNQUOTE! His backers dropped him like a hot potato. Some of guadiest cars, jewelry, and guns I've ever seen, have belonged to some of the richest people in the world! It is evident this guy knew more about oil, than women, and guns!
All kidding asside there is nothing wrong with Weatherby rifles, that a good firearms engineer couldn't fix by re-designing the action, stock, chamberings, and finish! RELAX AND ENJOY IT!
