Its a CDS model with a CDS disc for 240 WBee marked 85 gr tsx 3500 fps ! :grin: RJ
Sounds like you are about to have a lot of fun with that new rifle!
Let us know how you like it and what loads looks the most promising.
I have a 270 Wby, and the 240 has always intrigued me...having only ever owned one 243, and not for very long...the 240 has always been out there kind of tempting me!

Mr. Roy is looking down with a big smile on his face as he built this offering for his son Ed Jr. :mrgreen: gotta picture around somewhere oh them hunting with it prior to the rifles release just hiding in this PC somewhere? Mr Weatherby has taken some fine Mule Deer with that 240 and a group of speed goats! I would like one in an Outfitter model myself as I just like the stock? That S2 is sweet looking and sure it will shoot just as sweet as it looks! Congrat's on that pick up as it is a burner for sure :lol:

Looking at GI one can really tell the MK V Weatherby in.240Bee is a rare duck in the pond. Only 1 for the moment out of 437 guns is found...and that is with a 24"barrel.
