[QUOTE="Jim Oliver, post: 271716, member: 7171"] This one should be "interesting".......... I have owned several Winchester and Remington rifles (and seen several others) in .300 Weatherby. Presently have one .300 Weatherby/Rem. 700 with factory (custom shop?) fiberglass/kevlar stock, the others have moved on to other owners. The only reason I still have this one is that I want to use the action and stock for something that will shoot better than the 1.5 inch/100 yard groups that I have been able to get with it so far. Now, my Remington and Winchester rifles in .300 Win. Mag and .300 Rem Ultra always shoot less than MOA if I hold properly. I was able to acquire two Win. 70s in .300 Ultra before the Conn. factory turned out the lights---wanted to use the actions for "something" but decided to shoot one of them just for grins. I bedded the tupperware stock with Steelbed just to be able to say I have tried it. Well, the crazy thing shoots about 1/2 inch groups as 100 yds. Kicks about like you would expect, but I can accept that for the results I'm getting. Anyway, now I don't want to change anything-----at least until the plastic stock/bedding gives up. As for the .300 Weatherby, I'm finished with it in the standard chamber configuration.........there WILL be others with different experience, but this is what I have experienced. The .300 Wby has been used for 1000 yard competition in custom built rifles, but I'm doubtful that the standard reamer (freebore) was used. If a different reamer (no freebore) is used, I would not shoot factory (or factory equivalent) ammo in it. Cheers, Jim [/QUOTE]
