I always felt the .300 Bee was too much of a good thing and like the Winnie more. I'll be curious to hear the particulars,but suspect no one will..............(grin) Brad says: "Can't fault Rick for his pity letting you back on the fire... but pity it was and remains.

I lose half of my brass when shooting pigs and goats, so walked away shaking my head. The Weatherbys aren't popular here. A few like the 257 and 300, that's about it. But for every one of those sold, there'd be 20 x 25-06 and 300 Win Mags.

Simply feed any of 'em with 7mmRemMag brass,most of which will soundly TRUMP the soft Weatherby(Norma) junk. Federal being an exception and just as bad..............

If i could have just one caliber, the 300 is my pick. A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

I'd cast my vote in the direction of the 7Roy but the 257 is fun to play with and carries the mail at modest distances. WWP53D

His products don't appeal to me as a long barreled rifle with inlays in it's stock and free-bore in it's throat are not what I like. I had a MK V 378 for a while and loaded it down. I wanted to check it out and it had been made by Sauer.
