[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 906986, member: 48043"] 1. nope, you're going to have to shoot it. I've seen factory rifles shoot anywhere from .3 moa to 6 moa with factory ammo. 2. bedding isn't a bad idea but again you are going to have to shoot it to see where you start. 3. shoot before you flip your wallet out and empty her on your gunsmith's counter.. sako and tikka pipes are known to be rather good for factory bbl.s 4. gotta talk to a smith, but could be $600 plus for the barrel and a couple of franklins for a bedding job 5. are you loading already? if not jump over to the reloading sub forum and ask this question there. I load for the 300rum and retumbo, rl25, rl33 are all good powders. As to bullets, I'd go with a controlled expansion sp bt at 180 grains or more, or a match hunting at 210 grains or more. 6. gotta pay to play.. I'd get into loading for it as weatherby ammo is crazy spendy and see what you've got to do to get it shooting as well as you want after you've got your feet wet.... no sense burning cash on a rig that'll already shoot well [/QUOTE]
