[QUOTE="Lenny Foffa, post: 2795002, member: 100742"] I must say I lucked out once!!! In 1979 I purchased a new Weatherby Mark V in 270 Weatherby Mag. with a 26 Inch Barrel. Mounted a Leupold 3.5X to 10 X on it. With my hand loads of that time, I could make 3 bullets holes touch at 100 yards. It was really very common for me to do that . I used the old Orange Caldwell front rest. I didn't even know about a rear rest at that time. A Bench Rest shooter who would see me every Tuesday, told me way back then, " Don't shoot that rifle too much, you may never get another barrel to shoot like that one." Factory , out of the box , it was some shooter . [I] I still love and shoot that rifle a lot!! [/I]I have used it to take 2 Mule Deer,. One antelope a small Spike Bull Elk, and to hit steel plates at 1000 and 1100 yards at the LR Bang Steel Shooting School. I put a Leupold VX 3 8.5 X to 25 X Wind plex on it for that LR Shooting.
