Couldn't Help Myself
Getting the itch to do some longer range shooting. Just snagged a Weatherby S2 RC-V from Buds for a really good price. Do we have any Weatherby shooters on Calguns, or is everyone sporting 700s and Savages here?

Howa action and barrel. Excellent shooters. I have one in 257Weatherby. Taken pronghorn at 600+ yards. I only hunt with mine and fun target shoot.

No savage here. So far Remchester and Mark-X. Weatherbys have been good shooters, I've shot a couple and one particular 340 Weatherby just too painful to shoot.

I picked up a vanguard classic ii in 7mm rem mag. Shoots great. I sent it back to weatherby for a accu break and now it's even more fun at the range. I just put the thread protector on when I go hunting. Mine is very accurate.

I have a Mk5 deluxe lazermark in 300 Wby
A Mk5 custom shop safari in 338-378 Wby And a Mk5 Alaskan in 340 Wby The 300 and the 340 are safe queens these days but the 338-378 is my long range go-to for antelope out here, not uncommon for 800-1000 yard shots and I've taken them even further with it. I've yet to find the distance limit on the round, it will easily hang with any 338 Lapua and exceed it by a few hundred fps with the same bullets (300 smk is what I use). |

The "RC-V" (varmint) isn't available in 300 WM, but the regular "RC" is available in 300 Win Mag or 300 Weatherby Mag.
