I am having a gunsmith with an excellent reputation in PA do it for me. Also adding a small picatinny rail to the tip of the forend and possibly a small swiss arca plate to boot!

Yes!

As a general rule of thumb will fully bedding the action in a fiberglass stock on a bolt action rifle improve accuracy? Are there different types of bedding and if so what is the preferred method? What are the pro's and con's to bedding an action? Is there any potential downside to bedding the...

I have a Weatherby Mark V Accumark shipping to me next month chambered in 7mm PRC. I see Nosler has 7mm PRC long range ammo using 175 grain Accubonds. Very interested in this ammo and would like to know if anybody has used it for elk hunting and if so can you share your perspective and...

I have a Leupold VX6-HD 3-18 x 44

Fotis, your groups sizes across these different Weatherby's is very impressive. I have a few Weatherby's and get decent groups of just under 1 MOA but nothing like what you are getting. Are you achieving this level of accuracy solely through load development or are you doing some customization...

I would like to thank everybody for your feedback and responses on this thread. It was great information and I truly appreciate it. Based on all the feedback I plan to stick with my 300 BEE and plan to tell my guide my ethical shooting distance will be 400 yards max. After all it is hunting and...

I have a Leupold VX6 HD 3-18 x 44 with a CDS turret. My problem is I live in CT and the longest rifle range within driving distance is only 200 yards. I would probably have to leave the state to shoot at longer distances which becomes somewhat problematic for me.

My Accumark has an adjustable Trigger Tech trigger but I honestly don't know what it is set at. I think I will get a trigger pull gage and measure it and make an adjustment if needed. I don't know very much about the different brakes that are available but am certainly interested in learning more.

I had a Leupold CDS turret made but again that is all based on theory. By shooting at actual distances 300, 400, 500 and 600 yards I can vet out the accuracy of my turret, so I know what adjustments are needed.

I agree, instead of dealing with theory it's best to actually shoot at that distance to observe actual results.

I have an Accumark with the #3 barrel contour and muzzle brake. It shoots 180 grain Accubonds and Barnes 180 grain TTSX bullets equally well. I average .80 inch three shot groups at 100 yards.

So I am glad I asked the question as 600 yards seems like a very long shot to me also. I called and spoke with three outfitters who seem very reputable and all three told me I need to be prepared to take shots out to 600 yards (yikes). I told them I was comfortable taking shots out to a max of...

I am planning a Wyoming Elk hunt for 2026. I need to be prepared to take shots out to 600 yards. I am looking at a 7mm PRC and 28 Nosler. I would appreciate your thoughts on the best caliber and rifle choices.

I picked up the Hornady factory ammo using the 160 Grain CX bullets and am getting some handloads using the 168 grain Barnes LRX bullets and will do a comparison. I'll post the results. The CX bullets appear to have excellent terminal performance, but I need to confirm if they are accurate in...
