[QUOTE="huntintoo, post: 1529984, member: 34540"] 1st rifle i ever bought totally myself, is my winchester model 70 in .300 Weatherby Mag. The next month I got a reloader and, with the help of some friends, learned how to make .300 weatherby brass out of, then cheaper, .300 H&H brass by annealing and using a pistol load and gas checked lead bullets to blow out the brass chamber size them. It made my shooting a Weatherby affordable. I had a Bushnell $39.00 scope on it that held a zero but the variable 3-9 was jammed immovable at 6 power. I then saved up and got a good scope Leupold Vari X3 3.5-10. Then I got a muzzle break fitted for it. Then I learned how (Reading) to "Glass Bed" the action relieve the barrel, and do a trigger job on it. My rifle went from 1" to .27" at 100 yards. I bought a Turetted (Vortex - Viper) scope for it a few years ago. But when I went to put it on I couldn't mess with .27" shot groups. After 32 Years and her being my only rifle for half of those years, I had to have her rebarreled with a Shilin match barrel, and bought a Boyds stock. She's still a shooter and I have taken many critters with her. With a turreted scope I'm confident I could make a LR gun out of her, but I scratched that itch with a .338 Edge, now that I don't financially have to limit myself to 1 rifle! The attached pic is a my 300 wby chambered rifle with a cow elk shot at 545 Yards. A very capable rifle, not a lot of money into her but a lot of time.[ATTACH=full]114404[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
