[QUOTE="CUTTER1, post: 1699136, member: 94423"] 30 years ago I built 3 very light weight 300 Wby on milled out 700mag actions with Brown Precision Kevlar stocks and microline breaks and recoil systems. With 25" barrels and 2x8 leupold scopes in Control mounts they weighted 6#11oz Gave the left hand one to my brother and one of the right handers to my best friend! I kept the other and have shot a lot of elk, 3 moose, a bighorn, 3 bears and 5 Caribou with mine! Shot Bitterroot and Barns bullerts in it! It's now retired to the Vault with a lot of fond memories. Barrel looks pretty worn and I have no idea on round count. Built an identical 375 Mashburn at virtually same weight and yes recoil is fairly stiff from both! The 300 Wby is an iconic cartridge and everyone should own one! [/QUOTE]
