Wby Mkv

[SUNDEVIL]

I have a few of them. The 257 shot the best. It holds between .5-75 for 5 shots regularly. The 30-378 and 338-378 shot good to around an inch. Just use a good scope and it'll be a shooter!

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.

Nice rig. Wow. And it looks like a rifle. Now I know I need a Wby for my retirement...

I have a custom 240wby i had built on a ruger action it shoots .5 at 100m with hornady 100g STB . Today i got som sierra match kings 107gr to try out will see how it gose.

My accumark is still stock but will be going the bedding job soon. Mate of mine is going to the states soon might get him to pick me a 4.5-14x 50 with the Holland recticle as it looks the goods and should do me out to 800.

For the last two years my 30-378 accumark has been the "go to" hunting rifle for me. As for mods I did bed the action lug and skim bed the rear tang area. Bedded the scope bases. Also cut one coil off the trigger spring to get it below 2.5 pounds. It has a 8.5x25 Leupold on it and has shot a best group of .484". In the last year it has served me well and has took, a nice 6x7 bull Elk, an adult 4x4 Muley in Montana, 2 nice Axis bucks, a Good Black Buck Antelope, and a great Aoudad Ram exotics were shot in Texas open range. I think the accumark will serve you well and the 300 Wby is a great cal too.

How long was your Black Buck and Chital deer (axis).

We have them here on a property behind high wire as well as sambar deer . We dont offer them for hunting yet a we are awaitng legislation to change to allow it. As soon as that happens we will build our big fences.

I also have a WBY 30-378 Accu mark that I picked up from Mark Thompson of Thompson's Long Range Shooting. I had the trigger worked on and the action bedded. It shoots about 1" MOA at 100 yards. I have had two other Accumarks both 30-378 and 338-378 and both also shot well. With the long range 30-378 I have taken a game as far as 624 yards to date.

I have shot alot of Weatherby rifles through out the years, but have been slowly switching to custom rifles built on Remington's M-700 actions.

When I shoot the barrel out on the 30-378, I plan on putting a better barrel than the one that came stock. I like the Accumark with the #7 Lija custom barrel. That's a great looking gun.

The Axis were just decent bucks and the Black Buck was 4 curls with good mass. I didn't measure them but I am having them mounted. I do have pics, but I guess I have not posted enough to post pics.
