Hi everyone. I'm trying to help a friend with his new Christmas present without hurting his feelings...But He got a used but in very good condition Wheatherby 270 mag Mark V Lazer Mark. Not sure how old the gun is but it's one that was made in Japan so maybe not to old?? Which are the better guns, the ones made in Japan or Germany??. Any way he has bought 2 boxes of weathery ammo 130gr bullets and 1 box of 100gr Norma ammo and I ain't trying to be funny but man this thing couldn't hit the broad side of a barn stand right beside the barn! Seriously we are having trouble hitting a pie plate at 100 yards. it came with a nice Leupold 3x9x40mm scope. I took the leupold off and put a $100 Tasco on there tonight just to see if that would make a change but it got dark tonight before we could get the scope on. We're going to give it a fresh go at it tomorrow. Plus I wanted to send my buddy home with a little bit of hope for tomorrow cause he ain't wearing his smiley face. The scope and mounts seem to be tight and I can't find anything going on there. I scrubbed and cleaned the barrel and looked good at the chamber and rifling and as far as I can tell they both look fine. I sent him home tonight and told him not to worry about it, it's a "Weatherby" **** good gun and we would figure out something tomorrow but honestly unless this $100 Tasco can come through with a miracle I don't really know what else to try with this fancy looking gun.. Anybody got any ideal on maybe what to try next? Or some trial and error things to do?? Thanks for your time and any help you can give me to help me get my buddy smiling again
