[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 214253, member: 25"] I have the same rifle and can share a bit of experience. First, my rifle does not like Harris Bipods, probably because the factory synthetic stock is bending or flexing. Shoots much better from a pedestal or sandbags. The trigger is adjustable and can be taken lower by a skilled smith, mine is fine for hunting so it is stock. Best bases for any Weatherby are made by Richard Near, [url=http://www.nearmfg.com]Near Manufacturing - Rifle Scope Bases[/url] if you like the strength of a one piece rail. His tactical rings are superb also. I also found it tough to match the accuracy I get from factory 180 Hornady ammo, but reloading saves money and lets you shoot more. As for a stock, I hope to replace mine sometime but it will be with a McMillan Weatherby pattern stock. McMillan and B&C have both supplied stocks to Weatherby I believe. I have a new DGR MarkV and it has a B&C and is a fine shooter. Regardless they should be skim bedded with something like Marine Tex. Good luck with your new rifle, the .300 Weatherby is a wonderful cartridge. Hope you get the rifle shooting well. [/QUOTE]
