Re: Dangerous News on Weatherby Rifles.....
A couple of years ago there was reports of another accident in Norway with a weatherby Mark V rifle in 270 Weatherby. The shooter had accidently loaded a 7 mm cartridge in that rifle and when he pulled the trigger the bolt flew straight back trough his face(it was basically the same kind of accident that we have seen with Blaser r93's) This was reported in the major shooting magazines here in Scandinavia with pictures of both the shooter and the gun.
Accidents do happen no matter what kind of gun you use so you better be careful.

You are right about that!

I was really surprised about the Blown Sako in the Gun Smith section. They can all be dangerous but, most of the time the "Danger" is the person holding the rifle.
