Yup. I've had a couple that would do it with 5 shots but they weren't magnums. Both were 6.5-06s. I always called them 1/2 inch guns because I measured outside to outside. Oh well, this site is awesome.

This is quite an achievement. Killing over 100 deer and 10 Moose on 3 hunts with 17 rounds!


Yoo da man!

I was talking about my BSA P17 30-06, which I have hunted with for decades. The azzhat BSA Hunter was referring to my Customized Weatherby 300 Win Mag.

So you are a gay AO posse member, hey Muleyhunter? All of your 7 posts are directed at me, so I am figuring you are a homosexual man, sorry sweetheart I don't swing your way.

You should go back to Alberta Outdoorsman troll, poofter.

So says the New 24-Hour Campfire, Alberta Outdoorsman Sockpuppet, Homosexual Stalker Member.

Don't you have something better to do than to stalk me? I am sure there are lots of gay bars in your area, to visit in your chaps.

You are transparent and pathetic.

Having custom rifles built and then selling them will rarely get a guy anywhere close to his original spend. Note, I didn’t say investment. When talking custom builds, it’s typically not an investment.

There are a few things, if the stars align, that can make your financial losses less severe.

#1 you have a build from the most current hot-shît builder who’s got a 2 year waiting list for a rifle.

#2 Your rifle was built with tier one parts and plumbed together by a reputable builder, and someone wants it in a bad way.

#3 This goes for any custom rifle. It’s Proven. Meaning it has documented, repeated accuracy over hundreds of rounds.

I have a lot of customs, from varmint rigs to bigger cf chamberings. All of them will shoot a quarter inch with the first 3-4 shots. Some will hold true with 5-6 shots.

But all of them, except for one rifle I have will start to open up by the time I’ve sent 10 rounds into a target. Mostly, and truthfully, all are 1 MOA rifles, verified with 10 rounds. Doing the same thing over and over.

The one rifle, a 7WSM I had built by Scott Weichel is a freak of nature. It just eats inside the same hole, without question, no matter how many rounds I send down range. I will die with this rifle still in my possession.

I had to dig deep into the picture vault to find this semi-custom build I had done up from a Weatherby Mark V - Custom Shop, 300 Roy, that I bought from a collection where the guy had passed. This is one of a small handful of rifles that I didn’t lose money on.

While the rifle was new, and unfired. It had a deep, dime sized pitting on the barrel that couldn’t be buffed out.

I had a 1/10, fluted Lilja barrel screwed on it. Added a McM handle, and some nice gold lettering bling to make any brother jealous. Then some light trigger work and done. It was a fine shooting rifle.

Hey Beaver sent you a PM, would have posted it here, but my gay stalker would have interfered with a decent conversation and I do not need another one of his hysterical hissy fits lol

This is my Browning Mountain Ti .300 WSM, a very sweet rifle and a tack driver as well, it weighs 7lbs 4oz LBS with my Huskemaw Blue Diamond 5-20 x 50 scope. A delight to hunt with.

Wow, this thread went sideways!

Imo, realistic value on the gun might be $1500 ish. Weatherbys just don’t command much in the used market. The barrel work might add a little bit but a Wilson is not a Bartlein or Krieger etc. If you could produce multiple 3-5 shot groups, or better yet, a couple 10-20 shot groups proving accuracy, the value goes up. The fact that it shoots one factory ammo well is really not a sales point as what happens when that ammo is not available?

Same with scope and turret cut to said ammo. It’s painted into a corner so that set up detracts from value more than adding to it, imo. Additionally, it being a Huskemaw is not doing you any favors as far as adding to used sale value. They just aren’t a favored optic unfortunately. The scope might add $500.

I’m not trying to hurt your feelings, just giving you an honest opinion from a fellow rifle nut. One will always lose money on a custom rifle, even one built with desirable components, as it was built for one person with their idea of ideal in mind. Typically, customs with top tier name brand components on custom receivers, sell for about 60% of cost. That’s not your gun. Truthfully, I think this one probably retains the most value tucked away in your safe. Unless you are willing to take a substantial loss on it.

I agree 100% with both yours and Beaver's analysis/assessments. Feelings unhurt!

A lot of people can't stand Huskemaws, it's actually funny how people respond when Huskemaw is brought up. Lenses are made from Green Coke Bottle Glass etc., etc. lol.

I have won friendly target shooting wagers @ 500 yards with friends that were using Nightforce as their scope while I was using my Green thick Coke Bottle Glass Huskemaw lol

The scope wasn't the reason you won those shooting contests. My guess is it's because of the Glass Bedded Barrel that is Free Floated.
