Tried my best to get the stock on my 300wby to match my favorite 338wm. The 300WBY used to be an H&H, but was rechambered (which was pretty common back in the day). The 338wm is one you guys have seen before. It was built off of an H&H magnum. Both rifles wear Brown Precision PoundR stocks and both hold 4 cartridges in the mag box. Both rifles weigh in at 8 pounds scoped (as shown).
Great elk hunting combination:

I wanted to shoot an elk with the 300WBY. Took it out many times, with no luck:
Both rifles shoot extremely well:
That's the load used to take down the big bull in the above pic^^^

Then to confirm after putting it in the Brown PoundR stock:
Trying to duplicate the dark brown color Mcmillan uses on their stocks. After a couple years of use with the 338wm and the paint and clear coat I used, it doesn't have a scratch on it. The 300WBY paint job should hold up as well after it is good and cured. After buying the Brown PoundR on ebay last year, I didn't show a great pic of the stock or paint job, as it had some blemishes I had to take care of. It got on my OCD, but now it looks pretty presentable. Thought I'd share a pic of the matching magnums. They don't get used much, but are some of my favorites.
