Ruger stocks need to be straighter. Have collected, shot, hunted with Weatherby Mark 5 rifles for 50 years. Never received a Weatherby Brow. Mounted the scopes WELL FORWARD on 340, 375, 378 and 460s.

340 Weatherby would be excellent 210, 225gr. Bullets will plant sheep 500, 600 yards. 250, 275, 300gr controlled expansion bullets would smash Giant Eland.

The 300 Weatherby has taken every game animal in the world. I would use 200gr. controlled expansion bullets. You have the velocity, energy, bullet weight for both animals. Make sure you can shoot it accurately. It has a lot of recoil. If I had one rifle to hunt the world it would be my...

I've collected hunted shot reloaded Weatherby mark 5 rifles for over 40 years. All of them have been accurate. Leave in the pressure pads in the forearm or skim bed the action and glass bed the first 2 inches of barrel, free float the rest. That usually works with a number 2 contour barrel and...

Neck up 257 Weatherby brass or neck down 7MM Weatherby brass. Both cartridges are the same lenght as the 270 Weatherby. I have done it for many years.

It needs a straighter stock

Very good beautiful rifle properly built

Barrel too long. Cut three inches. It has an excellent barrel contour.

270 WEATHERBY MAGNUM,160 gr. Nosler Partition bullet.

Hunting for Bongo, Forrest Elephant, Red Dwarf Buffalo in the Republic of the Congo a 20 or 21" barrel is ideal. In the Alaskan bush a short barrel could be a life saver.

You're absolutely right the velocity loss is minimal. 60 fps maybe a little more. Truly insignifcate.

A 30-06 and 375 H and H. Hunt the world. My 375 weatherby with 350gr. or 380 gr. Bullet developes 5000 lbs of energy. I believe it would kill as well as the 400 Holland. I can shoot 375 H and H which ammo is found world wide.

Get a 30-06 and a 375 H and H Magnum and hunt the world.

I've seen them cut to 21 inches.
