Yes I'm back I'm. Yesterday was a bad day. If I can't live with the threaded barrel. I will have a gunsmith Lop it off. I have waited too long to let that stop me. But yes we will be in bidding wars on eBay looking for Gloss Scopes. I already have the dies for reloading. Can't wait to see one in person.

Thanks Aggie.
I bought the Weatherby Mark V Accumark 9 lug Magmum model Hopefully they will fit the way I'm hopping with the flange pointing out front and back or both back. I bought the wheeler lapping kit as well for this mounting job. As I want these scopes mounted as well as I can possibly mount them.
Thanks again. That's encuraging !!

I heard about that on the Weatherby page on FB but thought it was BS because it wasn't on Weatherbys website. Glad to see they finally did it. I'm in.

Thanks Doug.
It's too late to cancel my order. So rather than go through the return process. I will put them on.
I feel confident they will be fine.

Thank you everyone.
I looked for hours for the leupold back country in 30 mm they were out of stock everywhere I looked in the 9 lug model
And naturally I ordered 2 sets of Talley for both my 300 and 340. Then I seen blackbears photo.
Hopefully that was a rare exception. I can always send them back and lust use my standard leupolds dovetail and windage screw mounts. I never had a problem with them.

I got a good deal on a Leupold VX6HD 2 - 12 today. I'm going to put it on my 300 wby and put the VX5HD 2-10 on my 340 I have always had Leupold std bases and rings on the 340 but I was thinking now is the time to get something a little Beefier. Just wondering what you guys with the Big Weatherbys use for basses and rings ?
Thank you
Thank you

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.

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.

« on: January 18, 2025, 10:48:47 AM »
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.
