+1 for keeping it a 300 Roy. Did your father have brass for it? Have a muzzle break put on it when you re-barrel. My accumark with a break doesn't kick at all. My wife has no problem shooting it.

Just loaded my son in laws German made 300 Wby with the 124g Hammer Hunter at 3825 fps. He took a great kudu and an eland with it when we went to Africa in September. Beautiful rifle for sure. I'm thinking Roy is smiling about this old rifle.

Cool, what distance on each in Africa. Any tracking required?

...just sell it or keep it, I wouldn't even think of touching it for that reason...just tone it down to 30/06 velocity and go hunting.. way to valuable even as an heirloom to touch..

The chamber and barrel are toast. Cannot shoot. It's a gun safe dust collector if I don't do anything

I inherited my dad's west German made mark 5 300 weatherby mag. The chamber and barrel have shot its last rounds. Completely done.


Going to be taking it to a gunsmith to give it new life. Any one have a 6.5 300 or a 270 weatherby mag ? Pros and cons ? How about any 28 nosler owners ?

Not a big fan of recoil but With the Weatherby i can make it into anything with a magnum boltface. 300-6.5, 7 mag, 27-28-30 Nosler, 300 PRC, etc.

I have a 270 Mark V Weatherby and have taken several elk and mule deer with it as well as dozens of white tails. It is the finest rifle I have ever owned. I bought it almost 50 years ago. Bruce

Another vote for keeping it a 300 WBY and adding a break with the new barrel.

If you are referring to what I noted in #12, it's .30 LARA; basically an improved .300 Jarrett.

I have a 7-300 Wbee you just run your 300 brass thru a full length die - load and shoot !

Either 300 WBY or I would consider the 340 WBY. I had a 340 (33 caliber version of Roy's classic belted magnums) and I was surprised and impressed at how the recoil was lighter than I expected, and how much harder 338 caliber hit. The 340 WBY is a PERFECT "big gun" to round out your selection.

The 300wby will do everything you need done. Dead on balls accurate.
