[QUOTE="Morrison, post: 1524660, member: 12911"] Your 7 Weatherby is more than enough to do what you ask. In the most critical sense you may at sometime want to open the throat in order to accept the longer heavy 195g bullets, and at some point you may want a different piece of glass (Maybe FFP). In the mean time there are some things that you can do; first buy yourself a bubble level to attach to the scope ($25 Vortex or cheaper) I found that without the level I can drift up to 4 inches in either direction at only 200 yards. Next you need to reload in order to be consistent and use heavy bullets such as the 175 LRAB from Nosler. This should put you out to 800 yards with practice and development of the load that your rifle likes. You said that you wanted to leave the stock alone but I would also recommend a cheek riser pad to help stabilize the sight picture; I use a Super Soft Cheek Pads - 5/8 inch tall from God'a Grip for $20. Please remember that long range is not speed, the answer is in predictability and consistency. [/QUOTE]
