Respectfully have to disagree with this. Its a 6 lbs 5oz hunter rig thats running a vertical grip carbon fiber stock using AICS mags, a TriggerTech trigger, and has a threaded barrel that is 2" shorter than standard offerings (which is clearly the trend in rifles right now due to suppressors becoming popular with hunters). I'd say they are listening to the market as closely as possible while still making a 6lb gun.Savage scope rail with 700 footprint.
Weatherby always made solid stuff but these specs indicate company is out of touch with reality.
So what if it uses savage bases? While not r700 prolific, its not like they are rare.
Edit to get the weights right, the Weatherby is 6.3 lbs, not 6lbs 3 oz. So more like 6 lbs 5oz.
