Real pretty rifle...but it looks like a kicker. Just how bad is the recoil on a 378?

 

[truck driver]

probably over 50lbs of felt recoil with out a brake.

 

[ajvigs]

OUCH...FOTIS you planning on a brake?

 

[DrMike]

You can train yourself to tolerate recoil. Don't engage in extended sessions. Shoot from a standing position whenever possible. Don't get too rigid when pulling the trigger.

Or get a lead sled. :mrgreen:

 

[DrMike]

I only use a lead sled for extended sessions with multiple big boomers. The accuracy is degraded markedly when using the lead sled.

If you have a wiry framed body, as I do just roll with it! Fine looking Mark V, Fotis!

That is how I killed a couple of Mark 4 Leupolds. I sold my lead sled.

 

[FOTIS]

Fotis, is that a german weatherby? My only comment is "WOW".

Made in Japan. Best ones ever!

 

[FOTIS]

OUCH...FOTIS you planning on a brake?

Honestly?

I am afraid if I brake it!!! It will destroy scopes like my last one.

I do not want a Nightforce on this I wan to keep it svelte. :twisted:

 

[Oldtrader3]

Put a Conquest on it. Not only are they tough but they are great scopes as well.

They do put a strain on equipment, they brake stocks also.

 

[runtohunt]

When you are ready to sell it and find number 11 let me know!! I would love a 378 Bee

 

[FOTIS]

Will do

 

[FOTIS]

Cabelas shipped her out. Will be here Tuesday. Looking for dies and brass.

 

[truck driver]

Fotis, There's another one for sale on the Weatherby Nation forum if you need a spare. :roll: :mrgreen:

 

[Rigbymauser]

How could I have missed this thread here ?...

Congratulations Fotis...

The .378Bee is THE Weatherby caliber...it's all what Weatherby is all about..maximum reach with deadliest force with flattest trajectory. Federal Cartridge Company ought to make bricks of 500 rounds like they do .22LR ammo in my book...:LOL.
As I understand Fotis your favorite bullet is the 260grain AB which is still the best long range bullet available..that I too must try out.

Fine rifle indeed!....and its a WEATHERBY.

 

[FOTIS]

You got one?

 

[Rigbymauser]

You got one?

yep...a .378 I have made on a Mauser action, but my only original Weatherby rifle is a .240wea
