[QUOTE="huntintoo, post: 1664507, member: 34540"] I'm not and expert at this, just purchased my first 257 WBY mag., but My experience with a .300 WBY was similar. I Could barely afford a rifle got a Winchester model 70 in .330 WBY. Put a Cheap scope on it ad went hunting. This was my only rifle for a lot of years. I shot squirrels, prairie dogs, rock chucks, deer, elk, wild pigs, dang near everything. As I could afford it I had a Leupold scope added VXIII 3.5-10 X40 a break added, learned to Glass bed and relieve barrels, did a trigger job (2Lb pull) it just kept making the gun better. After 28 years I started noticing I was making kills but not hitting where I was aiming. I tried to Get it on paper again and could not get consistent groups. I found my free bore was about 3.75". A new #3 barrel and no free bore added and I'm back in business. It's more fun than I ought to be having!! Just saying try the little things first, that .257 WBY can be a delight! [/QUOTE]
