Weatherby Model 700 clone

If Remington upgraded the 700, the Fudds would lose their collective minds.

M16 extractors are scary.

I thought weatherby controlled the fuddiverse in bolt guns. Well, close call between weatherby (fudds with $) and Salvage (poor fudds).

Having been knighted on this site as an honorary Fudd, I believe I can speak to this. My dad's generation definitely thought the Weatherby Mark V was the business. I'd argue Browning has taken the mantle today as far as brands go. I love Winchester bolts actions and CZ crf bolt actions but they're not as available anymore. My interest in the Model 700 footprint is the huge amount of aftermarket products available. Weatherby is even going to sell these actions by themselves and the MSRP looks like a bargain potentially for those wanting to assemble a rifle.

You forgot Winchester too. CRF fudds.

Ruger makes guns that were good 60 years ago and refuses to update anything. So the aftermarket fills a colossal void on some really basic features. Remington is doing the same.

Makes perfect sense now.

Ha ha I do love their actions. But I've been using a Tikka mostly of late.

The Weatherby 307 Range XP in .280 Ackley Improved just made my short list for elk rifles. MSRP is $1200, which is about half of the budget I had allotted myself for this rifle. Checking around to see what dealer cost is on it.
