[QUOTE="kcebcj, post: 923370, member: 10391"] I personally would rebarrel the rifle if you like what you have. One thing to consider is the magazine length if you rebarrel making sure you can load the big bullets out where they need to be. I'm rebarreling a 300 Weatherby right now turning it into a 300 WM. The barrel will be a #5 Brux finished at 27". With the 300 Weatherby Mark V overall magazine size of 3.710 I will be able to load the 300 WM out to 3.600 if need be with the new chamber. Maybe I'm spoiled but that $900 dollar number you quote seems a little high. Shop around but pick the smith carefully. That is not necessarly the case. Now depending on a lot of variables a 1 MOA load at 100 yards could be a 1/2 MOA load at 500. In my opinion groups at 100 yards don't tell me much especially with VLD and botail bullets. You really need to test the long range loads and rifle accuracy at 300 yards or more. [/QUOTE]
