[QUOTE="Hoolie, post: 45956, member: 3077"] Hey 7Ultra, The MK V Accumark rifle is a very accurate rifle. I have (2)in .257 WBY.Mags. and they love the 87grn. and 100grn. Factory Ammo shooting 1/2" to 3/4" groups at 100 yds. with either bullet weight in either rifle. The recoil is about like a .270 Win. but the trajectory is a no brainer. I sight in at + 1 1/2" @ 100 yds. and impact is at -2" on the 300 yd. target. The only, I mean only, drawback is the price of the ammo in comparison to standard cartridges. But, some of the newer rounds provided for standard cartridges are not far off of the Weatherby Ammo price. Shoot what you want to shoot, period! I've shot Pronghorn, Whitetail, and Elk with the .257 Weatherby. All were one shot kills and some very long ranges. I have the .270 Win., .25-06 Rem., .308 Win, and a few others. I like them all. But when the range possibility could be long on any given hunt, I always grab the .257 Weatherby. Good luck with your decision..Good Hunting! [/QUOTE]
