Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game 257 Wby from up close to 500 yards

I bought a Weatherby ultra lightweight from a gun dealer friend a few months ago. It had sat in the previous owners safe for a very long time. It was 25 years old and has a muzzle brake to boot along with an inaccurate temperamental Swarovski Scope on it. First time I took it to the range it shot this. Factory ammo 100 grain TTSX bullets. The barrel is a # 1.5 contour 26" long. Gun weighs 7 lbs on the nose without the scope and it recoils like a BB gun. I have since removed the factory trigger and replaced with a TT primary in the hopes of improving accuracy.

I have 9 Factory boxes of 100Gr TTSX and 1 box of 100 Gr Sciroccos which BTW shot great in the 257 Mark V I sold a few months ago. Anyone interested in the sciroccos shoot me a PM. I see no reason to reload for this rifle.
