I suspect Roy Weatherby had a fair impact on having rifles being made fancy to look at.

Weatherby also made a rifle that appealed in looks to a non shooter.

If you show non shooters a picture of a Wby Crown Custom as compared to the H&H an the various American classic style guns by the well known makers the non shooter has the real WOW factor on the Wby.

Mike, I think you are onto something. Weatherbys do catch the eye.
