Yeah and that quad sized douche didn’t work for any of his wealth either; it was handed to him. It’s funny how rich people who got rich by their own hard work are often decent people, but their kids and grandkids go down the toilet after inheriting their wealth. He would be another complete failure if he was elected president.
Kids raised in luxury almost never have a work ethic. There are notable exceptions. Not many people work as hard as DJT, but how many times have we seen a company make it through Grandpa and dad, and they have an excellent company, plenty of innovation, but the third generation never struggled and they tank the company? I hope I'm wrong, but that's what I'm afraid is happening at Weatherby right now. No actual innovation in decades. The best things they've ever done happened in the 40's-60's. The only thing they've done in modern history is rebrand a few existing wildcats that nobody uses, create a mediocre 700 footprint action that nobody wants, and most recently, revive a dead varmint cartridge that nobody wants, and is only available in an expensive tree corpse format. I love weatherby, but I'm afraid they are circling the drain.
If you have box of assorted drill bits, you might be able to try those going flat end in (not cutting end) incrementally up in size and see where the pass fail size is. Get a pin one step above the last drill bit that goes in

Thanks for your thoughts. The LRP is available and around $300 less, but I didn't like the feel of the plastic really, and m-lok is useful on the MDT of course.
I see your point about the length of the forend, and yes the Arca rail is useful but omg aren't Arca Bipods expensive somehow ;-)
I'll have a think about that Tikka forend length.
I also could get a Element Optics Titan 5-25x56 for $1k ($185 more than a Strike Eagle), pros and cons I guess..
Most people end up with ARCA rail eventually for competition use, the bipods can be extremely expensive but then all good bipods are expensive.
Many bipods are the same price for picatinny or ARCA, and you can attach a picatinny rail or sling stud adapter to the ACE M-lok forend.
I can't comment on the Element Titan sorry, the Strike Eagle for around $800 is a pretty safe bet.
