Wby Mkv
I have a Wby Mkv accumark in 300 wby . I have not done alot of shooting with this rifle yet but after finding this sight i am keen to see what it can now do.
Dose anybody have any experience with Accumarks or the 300wby? Are there any mods i could make to the rifle? New to the Game and going to ask some dumb questions so plese be patient. JAWZ

Wby MkV
I replaced the trigger in my 30-378 accumark with a Timney. I did not think that I could get the factory trigger to 1 pound. Also I have played with several handloads. It will usually shoot .75 moa groups, if I act right. A friend of mine has one in 270 mag and it will also shoot in the .75 moa range. I have heard some people recommend bedding the rifle. I have not tried that yet.

I have 3 of them. On mine I adjusted the triggers down to 14-15 ounces, (with a spring change they will go as light as 6 ounces) skim bedded them, torque the action screws to a precise 55 inch pounds. In the 300Wby mine has an Accubrake. That makes it a pleasure to shoot. I use a Leupold 8.5-25x50 scope on mine. It's the next best thing to a full custom you can buy. I use 200 grain Accubonds at 3100fps with IMR-7828SSC powder and CCI-250 primers. Mine groups well under an inch at 100. Mine is a solid 600 yard hunting rifle.

3.7" OAL.
I used MarineTex with a thin layer front and rear. I also do the recoil lug 100%. It's very important to get some support under it or when you tighten up the front action screw it places a lot of stress on the front of the action.

Jawz, I also have a Wby Accumark that I have upgraded. It is in 257 Wby but I do also have a 300 Wby. Mine looks like this now. (far from stock!)
  This rifle has a McMillan A5, Lilja #7 barrel, Timney trigger, Marine tex and Aluminum pillar bedding, Leupold MK4 6.5-20x50. I can still put on my original stock(which I have opened up the barrel channel to accept the Lilja barrel) if I want a slightly lighter set up. I shoot a 115gr Berger VLD at 3325fps and it shoots like this very consistantly at 100 yards.  Here is a 300 yard group.  And at 500
