[QUOTE="Freebore, post: 64159, member: 873"] Victor, I have 2 Weatherby's both in .257 caliber. One is gourgeous (Lazermark)and she does not come out until the sun is shining. The other is the lightweight. They both required a complete rebedding job. They both will NOT shoot unless there is a pressure point at a specific measurement from the forend. I just happen to be lucky enough to have a bedding guy who understands these rifles and what it takes to make one shoot if it doesn't from the factory. The factory is no help. The lightweight I have taken alot of antelope and deer out to 612 yrds. with the 115 ballistic tip. The lightwieght did require quite a few round to 'clean' up barrel tooling marks. It come in after ~150 rounds. It does consistantly shoot <.600 group at 200. Ist and 2nd cutting, the 3rd at 10:00 every time. Only shoot three shot groups as the barrel need to cool COMPLETELY between grouping. Remember Weatherby's were designed to be 1 shot rifles. As most/all should be. The 300 is alot in the lightweight and I highly recommend their brake as they work very well. [/QUOTE]
