[QUOTE="Kyogle, post: 910599, member: 76673"] Hi all, the usual story for me. Long time reader first time poster. I am after my first rifle. I have shot my brothers rifles for many years but want to get my own now. I'm a lefty shooter so straight away choices are slim. Add to that I am after a do all rifle. I have been wanting a .240 wby mag, 243wssm or .257 Roberts but all must be custom made in lefty form. I have the opportunity to buy a brand new Weatherby MK5 Accumark for almost half price. The thing is it is in 270 wby mag. I feel that's a little too much gun for me and my hunting style. Q: Can I rebarrel it to .257wby mag or even smaller? Q: should I just keep looking for a suitable rifle. I was thinking of having just 1 rifle but with the 270 wby mag being so big maybe I need a small game rifle as well. Perhaps a .17hmr or similar. I look forward to everyone's input. Thanks in advance. Will [/QUOTE]
