I tried 5 new out of the box Weatherby rifles in .257 caliber years ago,,NONE would shoot to the level I was looking for..I finally built one myself using a Remington titanium action and Hart barrel..liked it so much I built a second one for backup..both tack drivers..

While I agree with you in that if you wait a long time the group gets better,I think it must be even more than the thin barrel. The reason I say this is I have other "customs" that I can shoot 3 fairly fast and still get a very nice group..have never had a Weaterby do that..in none of my lightweight attempts..I also tried 2 in .280 Remington caliber..they both sucked as well..while I know others have had great luck with them it has not been the case with me

BTW--I was able to try out the new rifles as I have a very good friend who is a dealer for them..

If it were me I would re-barrel or dump it...agree with Daryl..257 Weaterby is an incredible caliber..and anything you can kill with a .270 can be killed with a .257..including cape buffalo per Roy himself..
