[QUOTE="Montanasloth, post: 1053231, member: 88494"] So I'm new to the forum, been reading lots of great stuff on here for awhile though. Hopefully this is the right place to put this. I have a question on about the 300 Weatherby. I'm thinking of starting off with a Vanguard (series 1 or 2 doesn't matter all that much to me) I'm thinking of putting it in a Bell and Carlson stock, upgrading the trigger and putting either a nice vortex or leupold on it. I would be using this mostly for Elk out to 500 maybe 600 yards. I would also like to be able to use it on Moose and have it for any other big game hunts I can only dream of going on. I'm not to worried about recoil as I've put a few shots through a 300rum that my father in-law has and after load development and sighting in the rifle would only have maybe 4-5 rounds a year as it would be strictly a hunting rifle. This is kind of a budget rifle as we have two kids and the whole 9 yards, but I have some time before they need the 270 and 30-06 handed down to hunt with so this project could be stretched over a few years to accommodate more expensive parts. Is this the direction I want to be going or do you folks have any suggestions of where I should start? Any help would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
