[QUOTE="257WTBY, post: 2103435, member: 56428"] I will admit I am a weatherby hoarder I have 11 weatherby caliber rifles. From 460 WTBY safari down to my .240. I also have several RUM's 300 Wins & WSM's. Ive had lots of rifles built but when it comes down to it, no matter what I am hunting I know I can grab my MKV ultralight 300 WTBY and go kill it. I also have its twin in 257. Those two rifles account for 75% of my big game hunting. I do use my 340 quite a bit after elk. My one and only moose in Alaska in early 90's fell to 180 gr partition out of my 300 WTBY at about 220 yards I still remember that sound today it sounded like someone smacked two 2X4's together the moose shook a bit and tipped over. So far that is the largest bodied animal I have ever taken. It also accounted for a 170in whitetail several years ago. Lots of black bears and other deer. I never tried it on any thing under deer sized game the 257 gets that call. Its getting to the point accuracy is going away I am sure its do a new barrel. It kicks and it kicks hard at just about 7 1/2 lbs its going to. I know it my friends have shot it and said "they'd never hunt with it". I could have installed a brake but I figured so far Ive only shot it twice once on a game animal everything else DRT 1 shot. Are there "better rifles and calibers" I am sure there are but for me personally I love my weatherby's... To each their own and everyone is entitled to their opinion. Weatherbys have just fit me...
