Congrats Eric.
I don't have a Accubond.  But my 300 and 340 are both Stainless Mark V's I just use the same method as I would for A blued Rifle. I too am currently using the Wipe out and Patch out with Stainless ram rod and Nicole plated jag.

I agree with the others. First stock photo.
Has a dished face and straight claws. It's a Grizzly.  But it not the bear that the lured out from under the porch.  That is a black bear.

AI confirms your sightings.

He is using a 128 gr. Hornady A Max for this test.
I just noticed myself when I clicked on the picture to zoom in.

I remember looking through the old gun catalogs at the cartridge velocities.  One that always stood out was the 30-06 accelerator I believe it was listed at 4080 fps at the muzzle.
I see where a guy on the Weatherby FB blog has loaded a 30-378 with one. He's guessing it to shoot at 6000 fps. Hope it works for him. But I wouldn't want to be near him when he test it.

My Father would always have fried oysters.
Put in a egg bath the dipped in cracker crumbs fried in oil. I make them the same way every time.

I think the Cons have helped me make up my mind. No Brake for me.
When at the bench I will use a shooting pad for the 340. If I ever shoot anything with it I'm sure I won't even notice it. Plus there's a big difference between shooting at the bench in a tee shirt and shooting in the field with a jacket on.
Thank you !!

Around the Campfire (General Discussion) / Pros and Cons of Muzzle Breaks ?
« on: December 26, 2024, 10:43:01 AM »
I recently changed my bosses trigger on his Tem 700 in 300 wby. It cam with a 26 " barrel and factory muzzle break. I shot it many years ago when he first bought it. But I didn't own a 300 weatherby back then. But I couldn't help but notice how mild the recoil was I mean less than my semi auto 30-06.
I still don't like the added length and louder report.  But as I age I sure did like the lighter recoil.  To the point that I was actually thinking about sending my 300 and 340 to weatherby to have them installed.  Just looking for any thoughts you might have on the subject.  Your input is always appreciated.
Thank you

Around the Campfire (General Discussion) / Getting your scope level
« on: December 21, 2024, 06:54:05 PM »
I have bought a couple different leveling products that really don't work.  I came up with this method that works well as long as you have a flat area on your base you can access.
I use 3 levels a flat piece of steel. A  stock channel  tool works well. I balance the flat steel with a level on each side and a 3rd level on the cap or top screw. In this case my son's scope is canted. I am going to loosen the rings straighten it so all 3 are level and slowly tighten them back up. It works every time on my rifles.

I seen that too. Very Good watch. I like what Adam is doing.  I am A big fan of the Original Line up of wood stocked rifles.  But I do understand the way of the future is to give the new generation what they want.

Fox News aired the response from the pentagon.
They would only say that there not a treat or from any country that would mean us harm.
Fly one my way while I'm hunting.
