[QUOTE="Silver Dog, post: 1967529, member: 48303"] I have a bit of an interesting one, a 300 Weatherby that is a "pre Mk 5", built on a Mathieu Action and branded 300 Imp Magnum. From what I can gather it is one of Roy's early developmental rifles, so has a few years on it!! Have had it confirmed by the Factory that it is indeed one of their early ones! Biggest it has taken on so far was a Water Buffalo by my son up in Northern Territory ( he declined using 416 Taylor) but crawled to within 40 yes over open ground and dropped this great bull!! VERY proud Dad! We use 180gn Woodleigh Protected Point projectiles. Do not do a lot of paper punching, but accuracy is all that we want for practical hunting, cannot remember missing anything with it!! Not sure how the rifle came to be in Australia, I believe I am its 3rd owner, don't know who #1 was, sadly.... The rifle behind is a 338 Win owned by a friend of my son's who dropped the feral "Scrub Bull" that was feeding with the Buffalo.... No cover, and no trees for a long way if the boys got it wrong...!! The shoulder shot went clean through the animal, quite spectacular performance on a heavy boned critter.[ATTACH type="full"]210757[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
