I read a post in which you stated that you had built a Weatherby Mark V action rifle and had very good accuracy results.
I have a Mark V in 340 WM , #2 contour , 26" SS , muzzle-brake , mounted in an ACCUMARK stock with full aluminum bedding block and action fully glass-bedded . Best accuracy achieved with factory ammo was 2 1/2" @100yds . Reloads only slightly better . I sent rifle to KREIGER BARRELS for examination . They removed completely and then re-bedded the aluminum block , straightened the action , and then re-bedded the action into the stock .They could not make the rifle shoot any better than before , 2 1/2" factory ammo and 1 1/2" using their reloads .I asked Kreiger if they would re-barrel and square the action using one of their heavy -contour , cut rifling barrels and they declined .
Do you know of any barrel manufacturer , or custom gunsmith ,who could re-barrel and make this rifle shoot sub-MOA .
I live in Texas.
Thank You,
