[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 76921, member: 1290"] Don't give up. I bought this old German 300 Wby. It had been through 4 owners and no one could get it to shoot. They all believed the garbage about Weatherby's not being able to group. Especially skinny barreled wood stocked ones. All I did is give it a thorough cleaning. Loaded up some full house Weatherby spec loads. 180 grain Partitions going out of this 23" barrel at 3250, mounted a 6-18 Leupold in Burris rings. The trigger is still at it's factory crisp 3 pounds. This rifles reputation was so bad I got it for $295. The last owner couldn't keep it on the paper for more than one shot! I bought it to rebarrel but...........This is how it typically shoots for me. This barrel goes no where! [img]http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/1948/german300deluxe9tg.jpg[/img] Not quite as good as my Rugers but good enough for me to buy 2 more Weatherby's. I'm thinking the recoil of the 300 Wby may have had a slight affect on the previous owners marksmanship. Here is a 3 shot group out of the same rifle. [img]http://img112.imageshack.us/img112/1245/SVI_300Weatherby351group.jpg[/img] .569-.308=.261" That works for me. When I showed it to the previous owner guess what? He wants it back. Not gonna happen. [/QUOTE]
