[QUOTE="Qzilla, post: 126724, member: 6073"] I have a 257 Weatherby that is a Super Big Master model. This was offered a few years ago but, not anymore for some reason? One of my buddies owns a rifle range and store and he sort of made me buy it to try it out. Well I got it and it shot lights out in the .5 -.75 MOA with factory ammo. Well I fell in love with this gun and it now has somewhere in the neighborhood of 1500 rounds through it in about 3 years. Now the accuracy is in the 1.5 - 2 MOA range and I am not satisified with it anymore and I have actually just put it up in the case. Well I had 257 WBY withdrawls and Shawn Carlock is building me a 257WBY on a Rem 700 action. Now the problem is that this gun really cannot be sold as I used it strictly in S TX in very harsh conditions. It is in sounds mechanical condition but, it looks just like you might expect. The stock finish is rubbed in many spots from being in my Jeep mat and so is the blueing on the barrel in some spots. So basically at this point it is worthless. What can I do with it? Should I rebarrel it? Should I rechamber it? What would Weatherby do if I sent it to them? I heard others mention that if you shot their barrel out they warranty it? That did not sound right to me but, I have heard people mention it. I love the stock and the barrel contout and how it used to shoot but, I am at a loss of what I should do with it. None of the custom gun guys really like building stuff on the WBY actions so when I talk to them they sort of sound like they got kicked in the gonads!
