This gun sells for around $850. It has a 22" fluted stainless Krieger Criterion Barrel and a synthetic stock. My question is How does it shoot and do you like ,or dislike , anything about it, trigger ect.?

I would say if you have found one in a shop that has a tag for $850, you've got a great deal. I don't have one; but I have a Weatherby catalog, and can see a pic and specs on it. The barrel is .739" at the muzzle, a good dia. And it is free-floated which is a good plus for accuracy. I'd say the trigger/trigger system is like any other on their rifle, adjustable, and already has a clean crisp break. So, I would say go for it, if that is what you have found to best suit your needs . But at $850, what a deal in my books! In my current catalog, the stated MSRP is $1,176. What caliber are you going for at the moment?

A, 223. I am down to the Weatherby, the CZ 527 Varmint Kevlar, and the T3 Varmint Kevlar. I thought I would wait til winter to get my best deal. The Weatherby has thinner barrel and only 22". Some things I am considering. Buckfever

I don't have the special varmint, but I do have a Weatherby Super Varmint master in .223 Rem. It shoots and handles great. I paid around $850 for it, and consider it a great bargain.
