I have been the 240 weatherby route and it is no doubt a hot-rod. The brass isnt worth a schit. 2outa 3 split necks and i decided 6-06 would be better. Ended up having my smith buddy build a 6-284 and its a shootin biotch. Still wanta build a 6-06 just havent got around 2it. 25-06 in the mix also and it works great.
