I posted this in Rifle but didn't get any responce from anyone who had actually used Weatherby Service..... Thought I would try here where the experts are.
Subject: Should I send it back
I have a NEW Weatherby Ultra Lightweight rifle that just doesn't meet the standards for a 1000 dollar gun. I already told Weatherby my thoughts. To be specific the stock just isn't well fitted to the gun & has a couple of very obvious defects.
Plus, The best accuracy I have received is outside of their "guarantee" of 1.5". I believe that there is a real good chance that is also the fault of the stock fit and/or bedding. I base this idea on over 30 years of bench shooting experience.
I ask Weatherby to exchange the stock but they would not. Instead, they want the whole rifle sent back to CA., and sent me a RMA number.
What should I do??? Is their service worth taking a chance on UPS getting my new rifle all the way to CA & back in one piece??
They said I can leave the scope on the gun, anyone else ever done this?
Also, Anybody that sent your rifle back to Weatherby....How long did it take them to return yours??
I hate ordering something new just to receive a second rate product that some QC guy just rubber stamped out the door! Sure would be nice if "Made in the USA" meant Quality out the door the first time!!!, but guess that just tooooo old fashion of an idea for todays slash & burn economy.
