[QUOTE="340Wby-4-everything, post: 2422771, member: 47425"] I have a High Tech Custom Shadow .340WBY at 7.25lbs rifle and scope (w/no ammo, no sling, no bipod). She regularly will shoot .3" 100yd groups + or - a little with me shooting her with factory Wby ammo. Even shot a .42" group of 3 at 200yds once. A friend (gunsmith that built her) that is a real shooter, unlike myself who I consider a good, but not great shooter, shot a .2 group with her at 200yds - only 3 times he ever shot her. I also have her lil sis in a 300 Wby w/Sako action so a lb or so heavier, but shoots about the same, and again with factory WBY ammo (both have Lilja custom barrels). My cousin has her twin sister that is about 2-4oz lighter and he loads - a lot. His shoots .2"+/- .05 100yd groups regularly. I agree on the hunting rifle point from WildRose - 3 shots is far more realistic for hunting and even then, I personally feel if you can't kill it pretty consistently and cleanly with the proper bullet/cal in 2 and certainly three shots then either you don't shoot well at live targets or your bullet/cal selection needs work. Just one man's opinion. FYI, Weatherby's factory just set a new in house record with one of their Backcountry Titanium Carbon rifles (6.2lbs) for a 3 shot 100yd group - .06" I read it was with a 300wby, but that was not from Weatherby, so can't confirm.
