The problem is some politicians would rather see this happen than harden our schools. This helps their political agenda by being able to point at it and claim we need gun control. All of the schools in my state have had cops removed from them. Realistically with how soft most of of our schools...

Lol lucky we hit anything. 😂

Grew up in eastern Oregon and that’s where my heart is. Live on the **** west side now. I miss walking out my back door and shooting as far as I wanted. Anyway welcome.

Thank you all for your input. Gave me plenty to think about and changed my mind. I decided I’d go the all American way with bigger is better and rebarrel to the 6.5-300. Recoil will be more than I was shooting for but still noticeably less than the 300 it is now.

Thanks for the responses. I was planing on 1in 7 twist which should stabilize my chosen bullet. Lol and as of late I stock up on all shooting supplies when I find them. I’ve read the 6.5-300 and 26 nosler in a 8-9 lbs rifle run around 26-28 foot pounds. The older I get the less I like the hard...

Long story short, I have a 60 yr old Mark 5 300 Weatherby that has great sentimental value to me. The barrel is shot out. I’ve decided to re-barrel it to a 6.5. for several reasons. 1. I want to hunt with it again. 2. I want less recoil (no muzzle break!) I would like to be around 20 foot pounds...

I got a new 300WM for my wife. Now that’s a good trade. ;)

My Dad “You will never be more successful than your willing to sacrifice. Also Dad “class always tells in the end.” Me “I’d rather be lucky than good.” :)

I have a Bergara B14 in 6.5 creedmore. I had one of their first guns and the bolt shroud was defective. They sent me a new bolt shroud. However, they started piercing the primers on about every 4-5 shots. I contacted Bergara and was told by hand loading it voided the warranty. I researched it...

So what load did they suggest? And yes it is very accurate with very constant velocity.

You have the same issue I had with my boy. I had several right hand rifles to pass Down to him. We switched him over to left hand and have never looked back. Several times a year he mentions how grateful he is to have switched. Over the years I have sold the right handed rifles that didn’t have...

I only shoot n570 in my 300 WM. I started at 74 gr and maxed out at 79 with ejector marks. Settled with 77 gr. This is in a custom throat set for 215 bergers. Work up slowly. I’m getting 2955 fps with 28” barrel and 77 gr. Good luck.

And yes I raised my little girl right too.

Looks like your Dad (or Mom) 😉 raised you right. So about the rifle, more details please. And a story or two about how far you’ve gone with it would be appreciated.

Yes, please, what did he recommend.
