[QUOTE="TonyRumore, post: 2870020, member: 2222"] I've got Mark V deluxe Weatherbys in 240, 257, 6.5-300, 270, 300, 30-378, 340, 338-378, 378, 416, and 460, all Left Hand except for two Varmintmasters in 22-250 and 224. All of the Varmintmasters have 1:14 twist barrels, so you're a bit limited on shooting bullets over 55 grains. I recall seeing at least one other Varmintmaster with a non-S serial number come up for sale on GunBroker in years past. Unfortunately, I don't know any specific details about them. The Varmintmaster action was also used to make the very limited production single shot silhouette pistols, but I am not sure if those were S serial number actions or not. My German 224 shoots MOA at 100 with 50gr Speer TNT bullets, however with the larger calibers, I usually get the best groups with Barnes bullets. I imagine that might be due to the Weatherby free bore and Barnes bullets working well with a jump to the rifling. Tony Rumore Tromix [/QUOTE]
