    Rail and rings vs lightweight aluminum rings 23 oz scope?

    I like a one piece mount and DNZ work well. But their offering for the MK V is specific to a right hand action.

    Rail and rings vs lightweight aluminum rings 23 oz scope?

    I zeroed at 130 yards and used a mpbr offset that just happens to pass through center again at 300. I didn't try to center up the windage at 300, just verified trajectory was as advertised. Peak bullet rise occurs around 170 yards and is around 3 inches. I chrono'd my rifle at 3510 fps with the...

    Rail and rings vs lightweight aluminum rings 23 oz scope?

    Alright, working on a medium range build with a 600 yard max once I have everything doped out. Target species is mule deer on backpacking hunts. My question is what scope mounts would you trust in a high recoiling, lightweight rig with a 23 oz scope? Is there a scope weight threshold where...

    Weatherby is circling the toilet bowl

    For the guys interested in a .257 weatherby take a hard look at 6.5 rpm first if you want a light magnum weatherby. 6.5 rpm beats 257 across the board. Better bullets, lighter rifles, lower recoil, marginally better barrel life, and a more modern case/chamber. The the 6.5 rpm ammo is cheaper...

    Weatherby is circling the toilet bowl

    If anyone is following weatherby they are making some of the changes you are talking about here. I'm a lefty and I tend to keep up with any left handed offerings. Chamberings in 7mm prc and 300 prc are now available to order. 28 nosler snuck into their line as well. The Apex model has a #3...

    Mounting Short scopes on a Weatherby 9 lug

    I got tired of looking at one piece rings that might barely fit. I ordered a peak 44 J-rail so I'll report on that. The back part is low profile so I should be able to keep the credo lower on the bore axis. It is aluminum so before a shooting review, I will bed the rail to the action and make...

    Leupold Backcountry as a Talley replacement?

    I ran into an issue mounting a trijicon credo on a weatherby Mk V 9-lug with the talley mounts, the magnification adjustment ring bumps up against the talley base. Does anyone know if the leupold back country mounts have lower profile bases compared to the ring height? My other solution is to...

    New Weatherby! 7mm PRC and left handed

    Hello everyone, I'm a left handed back country hunter and I have been on the hunt for a do everything rifle. This might be the ticket. https://weatherby.com/store/mark-v-high-country/ Left handed options in the 7mm prc and 6.5 RPM. I like the paint better than the apex. 5.7 lbs in 6.5 RPM...

    Acceptable Accuracy for Hunting Rifle?

    Using Mean radius and a standard bell curve you can calculate a probability of hit. Without getting into the nerdery, 1.6 times your Mean radius gives you the radius of a circle you can expect 86% of your shots to fall within. So for ease of math. Say a rifle shoots with a Mean radius of 1...

    6.5 Bullet for antelope

    How far is your average shot and your farthest shot? That sounds like great reliability. Did the deer sized game drop on the spot? My only experience was at 91 yards with a 6.5-300 and it absolutely flattened that mule deer. I was happy to be shooting a copper solid bullet that held together.

    6.5 Bullet for antelope

    6.5-300 is still north of 2900 fps at 275 yards. I'm not surprised it made a big hole. Great shooting!
