Welcome to the Nation. Personally I’d shoot the 300 before doing anything and then leave it full length and add an accubrake. It’s only 2 inches. Nothing wrong with a wood stock and considering everything you want to do it probably would be cheaper to buy a new rifle with a shorter barrel.

The only real reason I wanted to change the stock out was because it is damn near an exact match to the wood on my Dad’s shotgun, and I don’t wanna mess it up out hunting. So, yeah. I am pretty sure I am just gonna keep that one around as a collector and find a different one to make a project

Brand new to the forum!!! LOVE Weatherbys. I inherited my dad’s Weatherby Eighty-Two shotgun and just lucked my way into an Ascadero,CA marked Mark V chambered in .300WBY and with a beautiful stock on it.

My crazy ideas are as follows: 1) change out the stock for a carbon fiber one from AGComposites
2) shorten the barrel to 20” and thread it for a brake. I listened to a Gunwerks Podcast and they discussed shorter barrels and I only shoot critters out to 500-600yds max anyway and being former military I prefer them shorter.
I guess my main question is about the barrel. Is it feasible to do with a factory barrel or should I just buy a BSF carbon fiber barrel and start from scratch

I heard on Weatherby’s podcast that BSF Barrels is providing all the Carbon Fiber barrels for Weatherby now
