Did you leave the speed bump in the stock or grind it out?

I haven’t changed anything with the stock at all. My only variables have been bullets and powders.

Only thing I can think of to make this even worse is one of those barrel de-resonators. Maybe I can get open sights and see-through rings later down the road.

Cool. Last year I was with a buddy and ran across a beautiful condition Weatherby Mk V chambered in 300WBY. It was $800. Not a bad deal for that rifle, but it was too gaudy for my needs. ..

I can like the looks of that rifle. Pretty nice and a great cartridge that goes inside.

Yeah, the wood stocked one I mentioned earlier was very Weatherbyisk. Shined like a new penny, had some diamond inlays and white line spacers in it. It was cheap enough that I could have made money reselling it, but sometimes its not worth the hassle. I like the looks of your new Weatherby rifle though. Hopefully it shoots good for you, but most Weatherby's do. Good choice on picking the 300wby. Sounds like you will eventually buy a 300wm too. They are both great cartridges. If you decide to sell the 300wm brass, I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to do that either. Many 300wm shooters around.

That's a sharp looking rifle! When does it get some range time?

But it worked numbnuts......... How many elk have you killed with your .999 BC bullets?

It’s been that first warm stretch of the year where all the idiots come out of hibernation. It just happened a lot later than it normally does. Overdoses all over the place, shootings at the parks, all sorts of crap. On top of that, I supervise a unit of 18 officers and 3 sergeants and they are burnt out. I’ve worked all three shifts at least once every week.

I hear that buddy. I used to work in Portland and glad I lived 90 miles away!!! I see you are in the PNW. What you describe sounds like Portland to me. Things might slow down a bit in the fall, but then you have to deal with the rain. That place is always going to be a schidt hole though.

140 miles north of Portlandia? That would be south of Seattle somewhere in the smelly Taint…

FJB and Inslee, too!

Does Tacoma still smell like firewood burning in the winter? I live there for the winter of 86 and the wood smoke would settle on Tacoma heavy. The Tacoma aroma the locals called it.
