[QUOTE="idaho elk hunter, post: 810867, member: 68226"] I work only on Weatherby Rifles and pistols. They have the finest bolt face and from the factory the multiple lugs hold more true than any Remington. To get this to shoot several things should be done. Skim Bed the action, Make sure the pressure points are removed from the forearm, and greatly free float the barrel. third is bullet choice. Many gunsmiths that are great builders get this wrong in a Weatherby. I have not found a bullet that shoots better than a Barnes in a freebored Weatherby. Second choice would be between the GMX and Accubond. Bullet must be compatible with the twist rate. If a person must shoot the Berger and other high zoot bullets that are soft and have thin soft jackets you must set the barrel back and remove the freebore. Weatherby did use some pencil stick barrels. On these you must stress relieve them and a Que tuner works very well. I might add that the first two responses were very accurate from people that know Weatherbys. If one does this you will have a great shooter. As far as the trigger goes buy a Jard and cut one coil off. Great trigger for paper. Touchy for hunting. NOT RECOMMENDED for novices! [/QUOTE]
