[QUOTE="dreal, post: 58488, member: 2017"] I have had two Mark V's worked over by Kevin Knight at High Performance Gunsmithing in Montana [url="http://www.muzzlebrake.com"]www.muzzlebrake.com[/url] - Kevin has recrowned, bedded,free floated,lapped the barrels and tuned the trigger on both. Both triggers are stock Weatherby and are a crisp 2.5# pull. Both of these rifles were very finicky beforehand although not as bad as you describe. I have since found that my 7mm wby likes a bit of pressure on the forend of the barrel to really maintain accuracy while the .300 likes the free float. Both are shooting sub-MOA. My recommendations would start with bedding the action and floating the barrel, along with getting your trigger tuned up - or as was mentioned, send it to Weatherby to have them address the issue. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
