[QUOTE="ctw, post: 1080765, member: 89671"] New guy here with my 2 cents worth. I feel you can't go wrong with the markv accumark. Think about this for a minute. The mark v accumark comes nearly as close to a custom job as you will find. Bell and Carlson stock with aluminum bedding plate, decelerator recoil pad, buttoned rifled #3 contour free floated fluted stainless barrel with recessed target crown, one of the smoothest strongest actions available; and if you desire, accubrake muzzle brake that tames recoil down to unbelievable levels. Having said all of that; I own 2 mark v accumarks, one in .30-378 weath. mag that routinely shoots 3 shot groups 1/2" or under at 100 yds. with my tightest group at .315 using 180 gr. Nosler bal. tips. The other is in the .338-378 weath. mag. that I haven't had the opportunity to work with yet, but looking forward to. My one daughter also has the accumark in .30-378 weath. mag. that shoots 1/2" and under also. These rifles out to 400 yds. shoot 3 shot groups 1" or less when we do our part. The only thing we had done to these accumarks was a trigger job done by Neil Jones of Sagertown Pa. As to what cartridge to recommend, I would lean toward the 300wm if their your only considerations. I would personally go with the .300 weath. mag. having similar experience with that cartridge in mark v's. With enough scope you'll run with the big dogs. Weatherby with out a doubt will stand behind their rifles. [/QUOTE]
