[QUOTE="memtb, post: 987692, member: 75451"] A friend of mine recently purchased a like new Weatherby Mark V, 270 Weathrby Mag., Japanese Manufacture around late 70's early 80's (we think). Just yesterday tried shooting it (with handloads that came with rifle) and at 100 yrds. it was abysmal and at 200 yrds. ( barrel getting quite hot after only 2 rnds.) couldn't keep 3 shots on an 11"x17" sheet of paper.We will go thru the usual checking of scope/mounts, and look for obvious bedding issues. But, can anyone tell me if the barrel should be free floated or have a pressure-point (like a Rem.) and if there are recomended bedding screw torque settings. We'll hoping to clear the rifle of any problems, then move on to reloading! Any help is appreciated. Thanks, memtb : Hopefully he didn't buy a "pretty" jack handle! [/QUOTE]
