[QUOTE="Texanjohn, post: 1594564, member: 47686"] Don’t know if it’s true or not BUT.... I was told Remington only makes a long and a short action, they cut back the bolt stop to allow the Weatherby cartridge to fit, perhaps someone more knowledgeable can verify or set me straight. I started this thread because I don’t here the 300 bee mentioned much, my Sako with a 26” Douglass barrel shoots everything 180 and up well so I am a little perplexed as to why it is not more popular. I know the free bore is long, I Don’t care, it shoots great, a friend of mine says he had one built without the free bore but could not get any velocity without seeing pressure spikes so they ended up opening up the throat some and Wala back to being a fast shooting rifle, as to the Hornaday 300 PRC, sounds like a great cartridge, but I don’t see it getting the following of a Weatherby, it’s more of a specialty/handloaders rifle, Boy that ought to open a new can of worms!!!!
