Admittedly, I have only had 3 rifles with brakes. A 300 win mag, M1A SOCOM (brutal), and a 7mm RUM. I hate the muzzle blast and I hate the noise to any companions I may have with me. I probably have not used the right brake to direct all the blast away from me. That being said, I always get...
Hello All,
I have run across a sweetheart of a deal on a .300 wby mag. in the Ultra lightweight with no brake. I detest brakes and wonder if anyone here has any experience with that exact rifle? I have a .270 WBY (ultralight), a .340 (12LBS), and a .300 RUM (12 LBS). Can anyone tell me how...
i just posted a question about another rifle. That being said I also bought a .264 win mag last week. Model 70 classic 26”. Great Gun NIB. Anybody here shooting one? Never owned one before. Thanks!
Hello all. I recently ran across a rifle/scope combo I am thinking hard about buying. Its a weatherby MKV accumark with the NON-FLUTED barrel, Accubrake, all blued. The rifle has a Nightforce NXS 5.5-25x50 with 20MOA night force base and night force extreme duty rings. Price is $2500 OTD...
Hello everyone. I have for sale my Winchester model 70 fearherweight pre 64' with a browns synthectic stock. I bought this rifle along with a .280 Imp from an old gentleman who was hanging up his boots. Both the rifles were built by P.O Ackley when the gentleman lived in Colorado. I have to...
I have been thinking hard about the 6.5-300 but didn't really give it a lot of thought. I would probably be done in the rifle department with that until I need a .340 or the like for large bears or a T-Rex. I appreciate all the replies. I will let you know next month what I choose. It's an...
Hello everyone. A few months back I purchased a MKV from a friend as a favor with the idea of building my dream Weatherby. SO, tonight I bought a BNIB MKV ultra lightweight stock ($175, good deal for me!) and I have talked to the weatherby custom shop about re-barreling. Now for the kicker...
I believe suppressor a are the greatest accessory to shooting we have ever seen. And I have the utmost hope that we will all be able to buy one with a 4473 very, very soon.
This may be true and I have no scientific data to back up my claims other than most everyone I hunt with has a rifle with a brake and I flat out refuse to sit with them. Hear I got protection or not. And I do a lot of still hunting in the Midwest where we have zero time to put on ears but I do...
Dosh, this probably answers my question. We are almost the exact size. I did just buy a MKV from a friend as a favor and it's a 7mm R.E.M. Mag. Figure I could punch it out to a 7mm STW and be just as well off. Thanks!!
HELLO! I just posted a new thread about shooting the 30-378 with no brake. I have experience with my own heavy rifles, but this seems a bit daunting with that big case. How is the recoil? Any tips? How much sustained shooting can you do? Thank you.
