Well I’ve had a little time to shoot this Weatherby. It’s been about a 1 MOA gun. But then I shot 200 yards and had it open up. The picture off the target is the 200 and the other is the 100 yard group. I don’t recall the impact sequence, but I now notice there are 2 hits close (.75 ish MOA) and...
Well the initial loads didn’t seem to shoot to well. Granted it was while breaking in the barrel. The rifle is now with the gunsmith working on some different loads.

I have a new Weatherby Mark V Hunter 280 AI ordered. Is there anything one should look for/do a once over before putting some rounds through it? Are there any upgrades that would make it a better rifle? I will have a Leupold VX 5hd with Talley rings. My local gun shop is going to work up a...
