But now I take a 300 Weatherby with 180 grain NBT when I go elk hunting. One jerk blasting through a long stalk I had worked on for nearly an hour changed all that. Now I can shoot from a half a mile away and not have to be so sneaky…


Alright Zumbo. I guess that's good enough reason to use the 300WBY. Even if you were just joking around.. Here's mine:

I don't know about Zumbo, but I doubt there are many people here that have killed more elk.

I don't spend much time with targets, mostly hunting and shooting critters of all sizes. The 300 Weatherby does give me the range I don't have with the 30-06, but the '06 never did let me down.

No targets to show, I just check the gun on a small rock every now and then, and then go hunting...

Nice rifle. Looks like it's worked damn well over the years..
