240 Weatherby Thoughts and Experiences

(7 posts)

I am thinking about re-barreling a Remington 700 BDL to a .240 Weatherby.Â I have plenty of larger calibers for bigger animals, so I'm thinking about using it for antelope, deer, and maybe the occasional coyote.Â This isn't an alternative to any other caliber - I have calibers to fill just about any niche; this cal...

The 240 is a very underrated caliber, I have 2 of them, my girlfriend claimed my frist one and it's all she shoots,and for the last 7 years now, she has gotten her elk,moose,mule deer,whitetail, and countless coyotes every year with it. I use either the 100 gr nosler partition's or the 95 gr ballistic tips, and get good results with eithe...

Wildcats and obscure cartridges

(13 posts)

We've probably seen a cartridge that fits the "totally-new-to-me" category, maybe even thought about getting a rifle in such for such a cartridge, and wondered if it is accurate, fast, or requires some kind of strange process to get ammo.

I recently went through something like this when I was exploring options for the reba...

x-ring Harmonic stabilizer, any good or just talk?

(4 posts)

So anyone else buy one of these things? Put it on my Vanguard S2 in 300 win mag and saw little gains in grouping (supposed to tame barrel whip and allow the operator to hand tune the grouping) but I have to experiment a little more to tell for sure. Anyone have a similar #2 barrel that has "hand tuned" using an X-ring?

I used one on my 300 RSAUM. I didn't see any noticeable difference in accuracy. It's gathering dust in a closet somewhere.

Problem with accumark bolt!

(5 posts)

Can someone tell me what to do about this? My bolt on my accumark 338-378 has peening or dimples, not sure what the right word is to describe this. When you lift the bolt and try to pull back to eject a case the bolt stop gets hung up on the dimples and rides them bumpy. This makes the bolt feel rough and I have to slightly lower the bolt to get ca...

One thing that just came to my mind is check the rear trigger guard screw (the one closest to the recoil pad). I had a guy bring me a Mark V a few years ago that he was having problems with. The problem he had was the bolt would bind up as he was closing it or when it was almost completely opened. After looking at it for some time...
