Weatherby snob here, and I just won’t associate with the ruffians and their proletarian choices in hunting rifles.
I own a weatherby vanguard. Picked it up used, cheap. 243 Winchester bought it for the kids when they were young. A friend owns one (not a vanguard) in 270 weatherby Nice accurate guns. But for the excessive weight not for me (or my kids). Living in the NE my .35 Rem marlin 336 is short, easy to maneuver and great for anything in the NE. Ps. The weatherby is way too glossy for a hunting rifle.

I worked in the stockroom at a sporting goods store in the 1970’s. I sent Weatherbys back all the time due to poor fit on the stocks. Maybe they got better.
Weatherby pulled up stakes and moved out of California and went to Wyoming. Freedom flight.
