[QUOTE="44-40, post: 2873161, member: 126985"] Those interested in changing big recoiling Weatherbys for something more manageable, why not just trade for a smaller Weatherby Mark 5 caliber...easy ...they have 243, 257, 6.5, 7 mm, Weatherby cartridges, that pretty much have ya covered. Weatherby Mark 5 have the same thread as Remington, 700 but just because the thread is the same only means a Rem barrel would thread into the Weatherby reciever, ...the bolt would not fit. I do not know if Weatherby counterbores the barrel. You must have correct chamber go gauge to install a barrel, for a specific standardized cartridge so it's to print for that standardized cartridge and can load factory ammo in its chamber. Some non standard, or one of the kind wildcat may be chambered differently, and dies made to reload it...a one gun cartridge. [/QUOTE]
