I have a 1970 Japanese made Mark V in 300wby. I've never had a chance to hunt elk, but I don't know if there is a much better round for elk except maybe the 28 cal/7m magnums. I have taken a moose at 270 yards and a dall sheep at 360 yards with 180 accubonds. I wouldn't want to go with a much...

Well I just noticed that the original post was a year ago... should have paid more attention.

I'm no doctor, nor am I a physical therapist. But I have a B.S in Kinesiology and was a CSCS. I also have had my share of injuries and have spent loads of time in PT. As far as knee surgeries I have had surgery on both my patellar tendons, and I have partially torn meniscui in both knees...

Thank you for your suggestions, I would only sell it if I first had it rebarreled by weatherby or if someone wanted it as a donor action. I really like the idea of building off of it. I have spoken to weatherby about it and they recommend contacting one of their service centers if I want a...

Thank you for sharing. Those are some amazing builds.

Where would I be able to find those threads? I tried searching, but wasn't able to find them, I'm not very tech savvy I guess.

Sorry, a little late getting back to this. Thank you, I will look him up. I did contact weatherby, and found out that at the moment they will only rebarrel with a criterion barrel. They hope to offer krieger barrels again in the future.

I'm sorry for your loss and I am happy your custom weatherby turned out so well. I didn't know weatherby will rebarrel with krieger. I have seen that they will now blueprint a weatherby action. It looks like I should contact them and see what they will do and get a quote. Thanks for your help...

Yes, my mistake. Thanks for the catch.

Ok, thanks. Best of luck on your build

Do you mind if I ask who your gunsmith is?

Who did you have put a new Krieger on your weatherby?

Ya, if I were to sell it and buy a new rifle it would be another mark v in 300 wby. But that's another good option is to send it back to weatherby and have them rebarrel it. I agree it is a strong stock, it just looks so nice I always cringe when it gets a new ding, scrabbling up mountains after...

I am certainly leaning that way. If you don't mind me asking, who did you use for your mark v build? It's a Japanese made deluxe stock, the barrel is a #2 contour at 24 inches long. The stock has the slight barrel pressure point a few inches from the end of the stock. The stock has a few nicks...

Sounds like a nice rifle. I am definitely leaning the semi custom route as I can get exactly what I want and it will most likely be more accurate than a factory rifle. Thanks.
