Mr. 0303, Thats a great story and a great drill!! If the group will allow Just a bit of Brown bear conversation. While watching the outdoor show WINCHESTERS DEADLY PASSION, with Mellisia Bachman, and her husband. She took a black bear with a Model 70 in 375 H and H ,BUT!!!!!! He shot a Brown...

A real display of Ignorance and Stupidity , and Bias on the part of 12 " Americans " who, at 5 Min before it was time to end the trial for that day, quickly all 12 found a man guilty of 34 separate charges , and offered an immediate guilty on all 34 counts verdict. A true disgrace. I hope...

For me a Brown bear hunt is the dream of a lifetime. probably never going to happen. HOWEVER speaking just for myself, I would either find or" put together", a WINCHESTER Model 70 ( Extractor Claw) , chambered in 375 H and H . If I could not find one chambered in 375 H and H , ( or 375...

Back in 1979 my first brand new rifle was a Weatherby Mark V Deluxe, chambered in 270 Weatherby mag. 26 Inch barrel and new 3.5 to 10 Leupold. Pretty cool for the times, when 500 yards was LONG range!!!! I killed two mule deer and one antelope one year, and a small elk two years later...

Great very basic powder I have used may entire "Reloading " life . I've got a few cans at $46.00 per pound and $49.00 per pound from last year, and two at $59.00 from this year. At 55 grains in a 270 Win /or 30-06 , I can load about 110 rounds per pound. Thats approx. .53 cents worth of...

EXCELLENT SHOOTING!!!! A Beautiful Rifle, with Zero Load development, that shoots fantastic!! How lucky can one man get!!??!! Have fun with it!!!!!

I want to congratulate you on the purchase of a fine rifle. My best advice is to clean it and take it out and enjoy shooting it. Thats why it was built!! I own 3 Weatherby Mark V Rifles. ( and one Mark 22 and 1 Italian Regency ) My rifles shoot very well, when they are clean. I find...

Hi Mr 204! My first choice is always to go to Leupold. I have used them since the 1970"s when I started hunting. I have owned about 14 or 15 in my life , Vx 2 then VX 3 and VX 5 and also Three Fixed Powers including a 45 X on my Bench Gun. The last two I purchased was a 8.5X to 25 Wind...

This is just a GUESS!!!! and its only conversation, but I think if the powder Charge is under 60 / 62 Grains of powder, and its not freezing outside, then perhaps Win LR Primers would be ADAQUATE for a session at the range.??? Sadly my 270 Weatherby mag is 67.3 Grns of 4350 , so I don't think...

What a beautiful Trophy. Congratulations !

I hate to say this but for me, Step 1 is ; I would start by checking all screws for correct tightness. Action screws, bases screws, Scope Ring screws, and then shoot 3 three shot groups at 50 yards, and shoot three shot groups at 100 yards to see if that made any difference. I would also...

I would by a much better scale and Powder Measuring device. !!!!!!!

Hi Chuck, I am going to do the same thing as you this summer. I'm going to purchase a Weatherby MARK V Accumark, in 7mm PRC. I will also purchase the Bell and Carlson Target Stock, which Weatherby used to use in the Accumark Elite ,but no longer offers that model for sale. Just my personal...

I've been a big fan of Leupold for many many years. Their excellent customer service was always part of the reason .Ex; Sent back a 30 plus year old 3x to 9x VX 2 , they couldn't fix it, and called me . Told me no more parts available to fix my old scope, so they sent me a brand new Freedom...

In Kentucky, while sitting in my blind a average, medium 8 point buck in Rut actually walked right past the front window and paused. My 270 was on the tripod , with a few inches of barrel sticking out of the front window ,and if I had fired it might have been 2 yards or slightly less. Since...
