I remembered Randy had a story about his rifle so I looked it up. The price does seem a bit high, but with a base price of about $3500 the Ti may have had other options?

The gun was built for me as a gift from my employer. My son at the time was a Weatherby employee. He built the
gun for me and presented it to me from my employer at a company meeting in February. Quite a surprise !! As part
of the Custom Shop purchase, he did a barrel break-in at the Weatherby shop in Sheridan. He did 100 rounds. 50 were
the 127 grain and 50 were the 140. He says the 127 holds a better group than the 140. So, this is what I shoot. I have about 30 rounds through it so far. sighted in at 0 at 300. I am about 1 1/2 inches high at 100 at 3/8 inch group. Zero at
300 at about a 2 inch group. Acceptable I thought for the first few rounds from the bench. No bi-pod or lead sled. Just a rest over a sand bag. Shoots about 3 inches low at 400 and still a truck load of energy. All in the Back Country T-I model
from Weatherby. Carbon Fiber Stock, fluted barrel and bolt, muzzle break, T-I for titanium action, Barrel and bolt cerakoted tungsten. I have 100 rounds of ammo, but hope to get load data and dies soon.
