Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Your favorite weatherby caliber and why?

Here’s a sexy little Weatherby I made a few mods to. It started out as a like new Weatherby custom house job in 300 Wby.

The original owner had, I assume, placed the rifle in his safe with a moisture spot on the barrel. When it was made for sale, the barrel had a dime sized erosion spot that had eaten down into the barrel ~ couldn’t be buffed out or filled.

With a deep discount on the price. I bought it, shot it, and found it to have typical Weatherby accuracy ~ 1.5” at 100 yards with 5 rounds.

I elected to put a new Lilja tube on it, and a MCM stock. Turned it into a Black Knight that shot sub @ 100.

I killed a few deer with it, then sold it to find something else I desired more.

Kinda wish I’d kept it...It was a really good shooting rifle.
