257Wby with detachable magazine (5 posts)

Hi all,
  I'm searching for a new rifle and it must have a clip/detachable magazine.  The reason being I have limited mobility being a quadrapeligic.  Loading one shell at a time is doable, but nowhere as efficient as popping a clip in the bottom.  I've tried the hinged floorplate method with frustrating results.&...

I got it off HS Precision site but you have to order it from one of their outlets such as Midway, Brownells, ect they have A list at there site. Weatherby custom shop is another hope I could not try as they are not open on Friday. I put one of these kits on my Rem 700 ADL alo...

    Don't blame your rifle (1 posts)

    Quite often I read in this and other forums where a lot is spoken about a gun not shooting MOA as per factory specification or producing groups as big as 18" and spraying bullets all over the place at 100 yards.
    The first port of call in identifying where the problem really lies is "LOOK AT YOURSELF FIRST" before you blame your ...

      Fishing with family (4 posts)

It to is A 300 Weatherby right hand action set up for A left hand shooter. I'm thinking about getting it just for the collection. This has diamond inlay's on the stock and ...

        Fisherman, Are you sure about the stock, is it all black or gray with spider webbing on it? the way you describe the rest of the gun it sounds like you picked up an Accumark for 600.00. If that is the case, you have done very well for yourself. Can you post A picture for us. It would  let us see what you  have for sure. thanks...Jerry

        Bipods ya or na (7 posts)

        Hi all, i have been toying with the idea of a bipod on my accumark 300 wby, i'm tring to get every bit of advantage i can as i hunt alot above alpine for sheep and mulies when it isn't moose season. For longer shoots i have always used my day pack and it works well, but maybe a bipod would better. I'm just not sure the added weight w...

          I use a lightweight walking stick to brace against when needed.  Lots of other uses for it when walking or in the woods or a survival situation.  Bi-pods are great if you dont have to carry them.

            catalog photos... deadline? (1 posts)

            The post asking for pictures for the 2010 catalog did not have a closing date. How long do we have to submit photos for the catalog? Are you looking for some particular type of photos, such as pictures of firearms, or hunting pictures?
