243 CFP, 240, 257, 7 mag, (2) 300’s a 30-378, (2) 340’s…… One of my 300’s is a lightweight and the other is a deluxe five panel in outstanding shape, custom shop rifle… Against my friends best advice I took it to an outstanding gunsmith and had a break installed on it. Since then, I’ve purchased and traded around 11 Mark V weatherby’s. LORDS WILL! Once I bought that used Accumark I was totally hooked. I had promised myself that if I ever got to where I could afford one I would buy myself one……. I’ve been shooting Weatherby rifles now for 20 years… Bought my first one as a college graduation gift to myself. While most other gun manufacturers have changed ownership through the years, Weatherby is still privately run, and has not lost focus of Roy Weatherby’s original “vision”. What more could you want for medium / big game hunting? When Weatherby makes their famous statement, (Nothing shoots flatter, hits harder, or is more accurate….), it’s not a marketing gimmick- My experiences are living proof. My response is that we’re shooting the SAME bullet, mine is just moving faster (500 feet/sec faster!), and at 200 yards, has 1,100 more lb/ft of energy! It also drops 30 inches LESS at 500 yards. “Overkill for Whitetail”- So many folks that make this comment shoot a 30-06. Yesterday I put 3 shots inside of a quarter-sized area (~1/2-MOA)!! This gun with Weatherby ammo is more repeatable than I am! If you miss, you can’t blame the gun / ammo! He recently bought a Mark V in 300 WBY MAG, and sighted it in with the same round.Īccuracy- What I can do to a 200 yard target is mind-boggling! I’m sighted in at 200, and every year prior to taking it hunting, I’ll go to the range just to “make sure” it’s still zeroed. He dropped it first shot! He said that he’d never had tried that shot with his 30-06. He saw one elk on his trip – A 6×6 broadside at 485 yards. I offered to let him borrow my Weatherby, which he did. He told me that he planned to use his 30-06. Many comment on the cost of ammo, but when I tell them that I’ve NEVER had to take a second shot or follow blood trails, they get quiet quickly.Ī friend of mine was invited to a Colorado elk hunt last year. This thing hits like a sledge hammer, and the Partition bullet doesn’t produce large exit wounds that destroys meat. Shooting the 180 grain Nosler Partition that it was sighted in for, I’ve yet to have a deer take a step after pulling the trigger. About 3 years ago, I decided to use it for local deer hunting (South Louisiana). Bought my Weatherby Vanguard in 300 WBY MAG about 15 years ago with hopes of an elk hunt in the Northern Rockies – That trip never happened.
