Weatherby rifles are fine rifles for hunting, but there is a small gap between the headspace and rifling which decreases accuracy. It's a hunting rifle and not a target rifle.
I almost bought a Weatherby Vanguard, but decided on the Remington model 700, which is a much more accurate rifle for target shooting.
Let's face it, target shooting and hunting shooting are, or should be, equally accurate. But far as hunting goes, the Weatherby is a time honored and very respected rifle. I wouldn't scoff at it.
