If the forums are representative then Australians tend to hold both Wby and Rem 700 in much higher regard than appears to be the case in America. ...

As a side note the biggest selling rifle in Australia is the Wby Vanguard. I can guarantee you that in 99% of cases when shooters discuss which rifle to buy either among themselves or a forum like Ausralian Hunting Net, then CRF would hardly be mentioned except in the light of single loading.

An earlier comment you made above.

I think people buy the Rem 700 and the Wby Vanguard becauuse relatively they are cheap. Our rifles at the lower end cost more here than in the USA. Witness a $500 rifle in the USA costing A$1500 here.

If I ever bought a Weatherby chambered rifle, I would probably go for the .300 Wby. The original. Or a .240 Wby Mag in a single shot with a long barrel.
