I think I got hooked upon buying my 1st Weatherby XXII, a Howa made tube-fed semi-automatic with it's beautiful chatoyancy infused stock. Initially I resisted the urge of buying a bolt-action model due to the prices they command, but eventually I gave in. I must admit now, I don't regret the decision at all. At this time it's true accuracy potential is somewhat unknown because I'm still working on a (personal) lack of consistency, besides I've only fired it once - in winds that were well above what was forecast. Additionally, my recently built and highly unconventional bench has a slight stability issue with the rear leg, but a fix is in the works. Having two XXII's now, I wanted a bench "worthy of the rifles" (a bench that also looked nice), so I made the looks a priority. With that said, I still managed a couple of dime sized (or smaller) groups using SK Rifle Match late last week. All things considered, this rifle seems to have excellent accuracy potential, and like most, if not all of the XXII rifles, it looks good too, although not quite as nice as my other one (Which is Here: https://www.rimfirecentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1190349)
