[QUOTE="Damo450, post: 1304817, member: 86242"] Hello everyone. A few months back I purchased a MKV from a friend as a favor with the idea of building my dream Weatherby. SO, tonight I bought a BNIB MKV ultra lightweight stock ($175, good deal for me!) and I have talked to the weatherby custom shop about re-barreling. Now for the kicker. What cartridge???? Its a 7mm Mag now so I am in the .257, .270, 7mm, .300, .340 family. I was dead set on the .257 but find myself wondering about the 7mm. Ive had a MKV in .300 a few years ago and it was a major thumper. But this will be a whitetail/mule deer rifle. I have a custom .257 Ackley featherweight pre-64' that is my go to rifle for almost everything. I'm just afraid if I don't go with a different caliber I may just keep reaching for the Ackley. I've always wanted a Weatherby MKV "custom" to me. I like light rifles and easy shooting rifles. If it were a 6 lug gun I'd chamber it to .240. But I digress. What say the pros on here? Thank you.
