I like the action. I despise their trigger. And a $600 carbon wrapped barrel does not a $4500 rifle make.

Pound for pound, the carbon barrels have been shown to be stiffer than an equivalent weight steel barrel, BUT:

A 2 pound carbon barrel is WAY BIGGER in diameter than a 2 pound steel barrel. A carbon barrel in the same diameter as a steel barrel has a great deal more flex than the equivalent diameter steel barrel, but obviously equivalent diameter means the weight factor favors the carbon barrel.

Flex in a barrel is NOT conducive to accuracy. Weatherby marketing seems to have this covered off by some creative wordsmithing on their accuracy guarantee.......
