Itll be heavy, unbalanced, inaccurate and have a shit bolt.

Obviously never used a MkV. Ugly stocks but light and accurate and function very well

Weatherbys and Rugers send chills up my spine.
Have owned both (not a mark 5).. they were just awful.

I've got a Wby vanguard 2, it's not the lightest rifle in the world but it shoots well.

To be fair, you own a howa

True that. Just has the funny monte carlo stock on it.

I hear you on the Rugers.

Back in the day I had probably 4 - M77 actioned Rugers that all required gunsmithing to fix issues right out of the box. Oval chambers ( fired bullets couldn't be pushed back into chamber without rotating them them get to fit (x2) re-crowns (x2). Never was 100% confident with ruger bolt-actions.
Now the two Ruger No1's I owned I rue the day I sold them.
One of the M77's had the tighest barrel to action fit the gunsmith had encountered so much so he wanted me there to witness them taking it off perchance it broke and I thought it was their heavy-handiness.

It turned out the threads were so loose in fact that the locktite or whatever they used to "glue" it together was really all that was holding the barrel in aligement / mis-alignment.

Never had any of those issues with my 15+ Remingtons in various models. All they nneded was glass-bedding.
