[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 168599, member: 8873"] How does that baby shoot? If it shoots good with high BC bullets, I would just put a muzzle brake on it 'cause I'm sure that sucker packs a good punch on both ends. If it kicks the crap out of you then more then likely (and I'm not calling you a wimp) you will either flinch or won't want to shoot it enough to be consistant at those ranges. Lots of good practice is needed for looooong shots. I would also look into hand loading. You will get a better selection of bullets over factory Weatherby rounds and you will save a fortune. My buddy had a 300 Weatherby and paid something like $80 for a box of 20. I told him I would load for him if he bought the dies and what not. It would pay for itself the first time around. He decided it was more rifle then he needed....in other words it kicked the living sh#t out of him and he sold it to buy a 25-06. [/QUOTE]
