Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting Customized LR Weatherby Ultra Lightweight 300 Win Mag

Hello all!

I was wondering if you guys could help me out.

I always wanted a long-range rifle, so I decided to build one, I did not build it myself, I have a reputable gunsmith build it for me. I built is specifically for elk hunting because where I live whenever you get an opportunity to shoot they tend to be 500+ yards away lol

It is a Customized Sub-MOA Long Range Weatherby Mark V Ultra Lightweight in 300 Win Mag, with a Huskemaw Blue Diamond 5-20x50

I had the factory barrel removed and replaced it with a Wilson Match Grade #3 Contour Barrel, I had the barrel fluted to reduce the weight and blued to match the rifle. To further improve its accuracy, I Glass Bedded the barrel, and it is Free Floating. I also worked on the trigger, and it is now under 2 lbs., very light to eliminate pulling. Weight with the scope: 9lbs 6oz.

This rifle is an exceptional Long Range Hunting rifle, a true Sub-MOA shooter, <.25 @ 100 yards

My question is: What would you guys place the value of this rifle, I know what it cost me to build, but I have no idea of its $$ value?

Cheers ~ KillerBee

I would say it is priceless because you have the most accurate 9lb - 6oz sporting hunting rifle ever created.

Value?
Do you want to sell it now?

Thinking about it.

I have been hunting in the foothills for Elk. I am in my 60's now and I played Middle Linebacker for 15 years, so my knees are not what they use to be. The foothills are starting to look like Mount Everest lol

The turret was calibrated for Nosler Trophy Grade ABLRs in 180 grain, nice hunting rounds. The Wilson Match Grade Barrel loves them.

Cheers

with the scope..1400-1500, without 8-900

There's a lot of newbies that say they have a true sub .25 moa rifle. Let him live out his fantasy dream... Also, that would mean the rifle is 7 pounds 6 oz's by itself. Not much of an "ultralight". Wondering how much gain he really got by spending all that money on the barrel change? I wouldn't pay any more for the rifle the way it is than I would pay for a used sub moa weatherby. The last one I saw at one of the shops was $700, in like new condition. You can't call it an "ultralight" anymore either. That moniker went out the window with the barrel change and the substantial weight gain.

I get it on the knee issue...mine sure are not what they used to be, and I didn't play football very long.
All things considered, it is a used rifle.
How many rounds through the tube? Not trying to be mean-spirited, but a Wilson barrel, doesn't automatically inspire confidence in me, whereas a Brux, Bartlein, Lilja, Krieger, hart, etc...or barrels in that class would.
Not saying your barrel doesn't shoot lights out, but since you are talking cost/value...
Who built it?
Rounds through it, the builder, and how well the barrel was taken care of? Bore guide used? I have seen more shooters/hunters hurt their barrel through cleaning it improperly than the wear of rounds through the tube....You might have taken care it in the best way possible...Which goes to my conclusion, it has the value of a used rifle.
The other thing I took note of, is that you are new here, and in some of your earliest posts, your asking about value, and possibly selling it.
Everyone starts at a forum at some point, and that is neither good nor bad.
You know how much you paid for it, and what you were charged to have customized, whatever the value truly is, it is less than you have in it.
And that would be true for most used rifles.
Best thing you could do, is find someone local, and let them shoot it, and if they fall in love with it, you will be able to likely sell it for more than on GB or a forum

Not the newbie you are thinking bsa1917, in fact with my bsa1917, I have shot well over 100 deer and about 15 moose lol. The bsa1917 I own is the only one of its kind on this planet. It also happens to be my ALL-TIME favorite hunting rifle :o)

Maybe I should have been more precise in my description.

The original rifle was a Weatherby Mark V Ultra Lightweight, which happened to shoot like POO, the barrel was JUNK, which is most likely why Weatherby discontinued them. I called it exactly what it is.

It does weigh 9lbs 6 oz. with the modifications I made and unlike other off the shelf LR rifles it is not a tank at 13 to 16 lbs, and is a remarkable shooting rifle.

Cheers ~

Thank you for your comments xphunter!

You could spend more for a barrel than a Wilson Match Grade #3, but why bother if it shoots remarkably?

Personally, I have taken this rifle on 3 hunts and only have 17 rounds through it, so it is like new, as is the scope. The gunsmiths shot more rounds out of it when they set up the scope and calibrated the turret to find out which bullet it loved, not sure how many.

It was built by Corlane Sporting Goods Ltd in BC, who specialize in building LR rifles. I have about $5,500.00 into it.

I appreciate and understand you point of view, it is used, although hardly and I expect to take a loss.

I agree with your assessment 100% and the best thing to do is to find a local and let them shoot it, since the "Proof is in the pudding" lol

I wonder what happened to the chap that called me a "Newbie" I'll bet that at a range, let's say at 200 yards my bsa1917, mine will out preform his. I would bet a case of Bud Light on it, anyway, says the Newbie lol.

I can post some picture if you like?

Cheers ~

This is not the classified section.
I don't need to see a picture of a rifle...I very rarely shoot one, and hunt with one even less.
This is a LR portion of the forum, and FWIW, I like to start practicing at 300-400 yards with my specialty pistols.
There are some salty shooters on this section.
IF, I was a betting man (I am not), and I wanted to show off a LR rig and had goods on the line, I would want to start at 500 yards (5-shot groups), and then work our way out from there.
I know 500 yards is just in the mid-range world, but it is a good starting point

I agree if you cannot shoot @ 500 yards and hit a 8" plate and get a good group, you should never consider shooting at an animal over 300 in the field IMO.

I noticed your Avatar and saw the pistol, very nice, well-done sir!

Cheers ~

Thank you sir.
If I was trying to sell some hunting XP-100's (which I am NOT), I would want to show off the gun and it's capabilities at 100 yards and further out.
I always want to confirm my own drops at distance, at least twice, before stretching things out.
One of my hunting XP's (6.5-284) at 575 yards - 10" plate, prone with a Harris bi-pod and a small field bag. 140 AB's with me shooting.

There was an approximate 10 mph wind Dan and I were shooting at distance.
After load development, this is a 10-shot group at 100 yards, prone with the same bi-pod and field bag. Dan shot this 10-shot group
The more you shoot the larger your MOA will typically become.


Another hunting XP-100 for deer and antelope with the 90 grain AB (Which has a terrible BC).
6mm-284 with a 4.5-14 Leupold, just 3-shots at 400 yards (10" steel).

Outrageous and Beautiful! Hate to tell you man but that gun is prettier than you! hehe

My favorite handgun that I owned in Quebec, Canada was a Colt Python .357 Magnum. I called it my "Lilypad Hopper Stopper" lol

Cheers~

This is my favorite hunting machine, my bsa1917 with a custom and hand-crafted stock made by an awesome stocksmith. The signature on it is my father's signature on a sterling silver plate.

My best shot with my bsa1917 was this fella @ 530 yards.

Do I look like a Newbie? lol

Great pictures! Excellent 1917. Nice stuff. I’ve heard Scotland builds a great rifle.

Thank you beretzs, and thank you for your service!

Cheers ~

1400 - 1500 with the scope, I don't think so,

This is the rifle I am speaking about. Cheers ~

How do you like the Huskamaw scope?

KillerBee;
Good evening to you sir, I hope the day's been well behaved for you and all who matter in your world are healthy.

Thanks for the photo of the rifle which Corlane put together for you - as well as that bsa which I still like quite a bit for all the reasons already covered.

For the edification of our non Canuck friends, I'll say that I've personally dealt with the now co-owner/head gunsmith Greg up in Corlanes since before he was co-owner and have always had very positive interactions.

As well, I've got family up close to the Peace country who tell me the very same thing.

Lastly on Corlane, when I was finding a shop to put together a .350 Rem Mag build for a "hard use" rifle which a geologist in northern BC and the Yukon might carry, Greg at Corlane again got the nod for the job for a number of reasons, foremost being he was the first gunsmith to say he wasn't going to build anything which didn't feed perfectly - each time - every time. The project turned out well - Wilson barrel and all - and buddy is pleased but I've not had a recent report of the group sizes or at what ranges.

Oh, even though I said it was the last thing, if anyone is heading up the Alaska Highway or down, stopping in Corlane to view the taxidermy on display is well worth the time. I had a great visit with Aaron the other co-owner when we did that this summer. They had a ram head in there that if it wasn't a game farm raised animal would have been #3 I believe it was? It's crazy big - and yah, I know it's a game farm ram - but still......

If you're thinking about moving your rifle and you are so inclined, I'd think that either Corlane or Clay Smiley down at Prophet River might be worth a phone call to see what they need to move it. Clay has always been wonderful to deal with in my experience and has moved some pieces for me which were nigh onto impossible to find buyers for locally.

It's a thought anyways perhaps?

Hopefully that was useful for you or again anyone wandering up or down the Alaska Highway.

All the best and good luck on your hunts this fall.

Dwayne

Good morning Just a Hunter.

Simply put, I love it!

Funny story:

After I got it back from Corlane, sighted by Rod and the turret etched by their team, the first thing I did of course, was I went to my friend's ranch, and I set up an 8" steel plate at 500 yards.

I took the first shot and said to my friend, "the scope is garbage" and I was not happy, then I realized that I did not turn the turret to 5 and it was set @ 2 which is zeroed at 200 yards hahaha!

After a few minutes of laughing my head off I set it at 5 and hit that plate every shot in nice tight groups, and it was the first time I ever shot that rifle. My Buddy that loads his own ammo, shoots all the time (I don't) and had a Nightforce on his rifle could not hit the plate once. I was shooting off of the hood of my truck from a backpack as a rest and standing, he was sitting at the table he set up with a bipod.

Great scope that takes the guesswork and calculus out of LR Shooting if you ask me!

One guy I was talking with on another hunting forum said, "looking through a Huskemowmow, how he put it, the glass is like looking through a Coke bottle with that green glass" lol.

One thing I have discovered about the Huskemaw Scope, there are a lot of haters of them out there that cannot wait to bash them, the only reason why they would do that is because they do not own one, nor have they shot with one, or if they did own one it was set up incorrectly, I am thinking?

I highly recommend them because of their ease of use, the glass is very good, weight and price point. If you have an elk at 600 yards turn the turret to 6 and aim exactly where you want to hit the animal, easy peezy! One thing I hate doing is calculus when I am shooting.

Cheers ~

Good morning BC30cal, I trust you are doing GREAT!

Did you see my "Last Meal" comment?

I would personally rank Corlane Sporting Goods Ltd. as the #1 long range Rifle and Gunsmith Shop in Canada, which is why I deal with them.

I got to know them when I wanted to buy a Huskemaw after doing a ton of research on building a super lightweight long-distance rifle, Corlane are one of the few dealers that sell them in Canada and the closest to me, so I called them, and have been happily dealing with them ever since.

The first rifle I sent them was my Browning Mountain Ti 300 WSM, which was a tremendous rifle, super accurate out of the box. This Mountain Ti although perfect as an extremely light Mountain rifle, it lacked the energy I wanted for 600+ yard shots on elk, not only that, trying to buy ammo for a WSM is a pain in the butt, especially if you are not in a major city center. For those reasons I upgraded to the 300 Win Mag.

When I purchased the Weatherby Mark V Ultralightweight in 300 Win Mag, I figured that it would shoot as well as my Mountain TI out of the box, boy was I ever wrong! When I sent it up to Corlane they mounted the Huskemaw on it and after their first shooting/testing day, they discovered that the rifle barrel was HORRIBLE, because the barrel was acting like a whip and they were getting 7" groups at 200 yards! This could be why Weatherby has discontinued them?

Obviously, that was never going to work. So, Rod suggested we replace the barrel with a Wilson Match Grade, which we did but after shooting it neither of us was impressed, because I wanted a sub-MOA rifle, so I asked him to glass bed it and free float the barrel.

After experimenting with various rounds, we finally struck gold with Nosler Trophy Grade ABLRs in 180g, and it was finally shooting <.25 @ 100 yards. This is why I made the modifications I did. Although the barrel was horrible, the fit of the Weatherby Monte Carlo style stock fits me like a glove and as you know my favorite rifle is my 1917 that has a Monte Carlo stock and pistol grip, also the Weatherby action is second to none IMO.

Talking about the Trophies those boyz at Corlane shoot in BC, did you see the Grizz Rod shot a few years ago? What a MONSTER! Put it out of its misery, it was suffering from JUMBOITTIS! lol

I have been bowhunting for elk in the foothills of Alberta for many years. There are a lot of Grizz where I hunt, which is exactly why when I bow hunt, I carry a Mossberg Maverick 88 with an 18" barrel on my back. I load it up with 2 SSG finishing rounds, with 3 - 3" High Shock slugs to start the party lol

I am not big on bear spray, especially if I run into an AGGRESSIVE MONSTER like the one Rod killed. I do not want to make a bears eyes water; I would want to send it to meet his maker if it were to attack me! I figure that if a bear does get me, it will be the most painful diner of his life and hopefully his last. Hopefully if that were to happen, he wouldn't even get the opportunity to dine, if you know what I mean? I have been attacked by a black bear in the past, talk about an Adrenaline Pumping Experience, happens real fast too! That day I discovered I can scream just as loud and as high pitched as a schoolgirl lol

When I grew up my father was the President of the Skeet and Trap club, so I spent my childhood and grew up on a skeet range, as well as hunting grouse and woodcock over world class English setters and German Shorthaired Pointers, and duck and goose hunting, so I am pretty handy with a shotgun.

I wish you and your beautiful family a fantastic Sunday, are you going out to shoot the 1894 Swed with your daughter today?

Cheers ~

This is a picture of Rod's Grizz, had it saved, BC Hunting is hard to beat!

Value will vary from person to person.

Right person, on the right day looking for what you have etc...

Me, personally- I don't "value" the Wby name or action, I don't value that chambering or weight. My number, as in value to me - It would have to be about 5% of your cost into it.

So it's hard to ask "value" when it can and will vary based on what a person wants, or doesn't.

I would like to see a video of this rifle producing repeatable .25" groups at 100yards. Not just "It did it one time" or "If I do my part" but actual repeatable groups.

4 or 5 groups in a row, showing it is a .300 win mag capable of shooting consistent 1/4" groups over and over.

If it is able to do that as you say, then no doubt you will have no shortage of guys wanting to purchase it.

All my rifles shoot <.1” groups.

All day long

24/7/365

I am learning that Teal and agreed.

I never buy a Rifle solely on Brand name, I will only buy a rifle if it fits me perfectly and the cheek on stock to eye/scope/target acquisition is instant!

When I purchased the Weatherby at Cabela, I had every single 300 Win Mag in my hands and tested them all for fit, (sort of like Tuco at the gun counter when he robbed the old man in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly) the Mark V Ultra lightweight won out. I have been shooting for 55 years. If it does not fit DO NOT BUY IT, is my humble advice.

Same with Ammo, I don't make purchases based on brand name, I test several brands to find out what the barrel loves and that is the cartridge I go with. Using cartridges in a barrel that does not love them is like serving broccoli to your gal, when you know she hates it. Same result lol


Good shooting there Rick, mine do as well, it's a beautiful thing :o)

Thank you.

While I like the Weatherby action, the caliber & think the weight is about perfect for accurate shooting - it isn’t light, it isn’t a PRC so inherently cool, I’m not a fan of the Huskemaw and lots of others aren’t either - the value is likely the same as in original factory condition or less not more. For you it may be the magic killing machine but that doesn’t make it sought after in the marketplace or a good investment.

I have an old tang safety Ruger 7mm RM bedded, with a glass like trigger & custom muzzle brake that is a wonderfully accurate shooting gun, I’d never sell it & my heirs will have a shoot off to see who inherits the rifle. It’s resale value is nothing special but it’s killed 20+ deer, a boar at 513, a bunch of elk and is a death ray. The Zeiss 4-16 cost 4x what I paid for the rifle in 1977. But it’s value to me & my family means nothing to its commercial resale value.

Build guns you like to hunt with however you prefer, or build that guys on the long range hunting forum will buy, don’t expect they’ll always be the same.

I agree with most everything you said specneeds, and I think you are right about the value, with all of the work and expense I went through to get it the way it is now and that is from shooting 7" groups to <.25 @ 100 yards, I place its value a @ $4,000.00, I have $6,000.00 CAN into it, so I expect to lose 2k.

What I disagree with you on is: For its accuracy and ability to shoot at long distance and have the energy to take down an elk @ 800+ yards this rifle is lighter than most as far as a LR hunting rifle goes, I have seen peoples LR rifles weigh up to 16 lbs., I kept this one <10 lbs. Why the Huskemaw? It was lighter than other similar scopes I was looking at, and I wanted to shed the weight as much as possible.

I have friends that swear by Nightforce and have them on their rifles, I have outshot them at the range consistently with my Huskemaw, maybe it's the shooter? :o)

Cheers ~

Interesting stuff here. I had no idea going to a 300wm from a 300wsm was an upgrade in any way other than adding weight to the action. Especially considering those 600+ yard shots. Also did not know 300wm factory ammunition could provide consistent .25 moa targets. I bet handloaders wish they could get even remotely close loading better brass and bullets.

Interesting rifle. Best of luck moving it on.

FWIW- Never felt undergunned with my 300wsm at 600 yards.

Good luck with that. Poster has admitted the rifle has only been shot 17x, shoots only factory ammunition, and thinks there's a difference ballistically between the 300wm and 300wsm.

New guy with 3 posts catches on pretty fast..^^^^

Unfortunately thats about what my Wby Ultralight weighs. Factory barrel and all. Its a 1lb over advertised weight. It is a 300 Wby and although it shoots really well , it wont
do .25 mo. I did shoot a 2.5” group at 750 yds

That's ok. His won't either. And its actually depreciating in accuracy because a couple of years ago it would shoot .25 moa at "200" yds.

your custom Weatherby Mark5 300 Win . Mag . value with scope $2000.00 maybe more ? the action alone is worth $750.00 . in my eyes that is a very nice rifle , i built a Weatherby Mark 5 with a 8 twist Brux barrel 257 Weatherby Mag. it shoots excellent too.

0.25 MOA is 0.25 MOA, whether at 100 yards, 200 yards, etc.

I get that but if you can't shoot quarter inch groups at 100 you sure as hell won't at 200 with the same rifle. This rifle and shooter have never done either and never will.

No one can say it's a 1/4 MOA rifle with a total of 17 rounds through it.

Just differentiating between 0.25 inch and 0.25 MOA, is all.

.25 MOA is a constant but a 1/4 inch is only .25 MOA at 100 yards….at 200 yards .25 MOA is 1/2 inch…at 400 yards .25 MOA is a 1” group…etc, etc

So to shoot 1/4 moa at 100 yards you must shoot a .257 or smaller projectile? Regardless, very nice rifle. Huskemaw makes good stuff, weatherby is top notch. A hunting gun is a hunting gun.

Bingo. Why even mess with the idiot? As for the guys that screwed up the quotes here, I will reiterate what I said: He's living in a fantasy world... Nuff said. Many here don't need a math lesson to tell us what 1/4 moa is at any distance. That should be the least of anyone's concern here. 1/4 moa is 1/4 moa, regardless of how far away it is. And no, a 1/4 moa at 400 yards is not 1" like someone alluded to. It's actually 1.047".

A real 1/4 moa rifle is something like what Erik Cortina used to win some recent big event F-Open class matches.

It really breaks my heart that you guys don't believe me, guess I will have to cry into a pillow now lol

Hey BSA Hunter post a picture of your favorite BSA, I'll bet mine makes yours look like a piece of used junk. Oh and my BSA is super accurate and I have killed well over 100 deer and over 10 moose and I only shoot factory loads, Winchester SuperX PowerPoints in 180 gr. out of it Peckerhead.

I have not shot lots with it, however, I did not set up the rifle, Rod at Corlane Sporting Goods Ltd in Dawson Creek did. He shot many rounds from different Manufactures out of it while he was developing the rifle. When I got the rifle back after he customized it, there was no need to shoot it to the extent he did.

Don't believe me, you have my blessing to call Corlane in Dawson Creek and ask to speak to Rod, he will confirm everything I have said here. There is no reason for him to lie about it.

The round that it loves ended up being Nosler Trophy Grade ABLR in 190 GR. which suits me fine, since IMO they are EXCEPTIONAL FACTORY hunting rounds, the only downside is that there are very expensive, making shooting my Weatherby LR Rifle for "Fun" a very expensive pastime.

Corlane Sporting Goods Ltd Ph: (250) 782-2111. IMO they are the best Long Range Gunsmiths and Hunting Rifle store In Canada.

What?

I believe you. I have no reason not to and I know that you grew up shooting. My comment was to the poster that said a .25 MOA rifle shot .25” at 400. I was trying to correct the incorrect wording of a previous poster not in any way questioning you or your shooting. My apologies if it came across different. 👍🏼

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


Yoo da man!

He didn't mean with that rifle.

A .257 caliber bullet is roughly a quarter of an inch. I take it that the group would have to be one hole. Anything larger than .257 such as .264 is already unable to achieve 1/4 moa at 100 yards. But at 200, 1/2 inch is 1/4 moa. Might be wrong, but that's how I see it.

It is wrong.

When talking group size, we're talking about the dispersion of the centers of the holes.

1/60th of a degree.
1 moa is 1.047 inches at 100 yards.
.25 inches=1/4moa
.257mm

If you put five .308" bullets through exactly the same hole the dispersion of the centers of the holes is zero, not .308".

You're right. Center to center. Stand corrected.
But to be fair, the center of a .30 cal to the center of a .30 cal in say a clover leaf would be damn close. And if you got a rifle that accurate and that light weight, you've got the grail.

If he has a sporter weight 300 mag that will repeatedly and reliably put five shots into less than 1/4 moa he does have something special all right.

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.

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.

In this case its mobb. Minute of broadside barn.

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.

Some things never change huh Mr Manure Spreader? Another forum. Same lies.

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.

Kind of a one act show arent you Pinocchio?

Your the stalker, talk about a one-act gay, fruit show lol

Do yourself a favor and go back to Alberta Outdoorsman where you belong with your other gay friends.

In other words GFY gay boy, sockpuppet stalker.

over 10 moose ?

is that like 10.25 or 10.5 or 10.75 moose killed ?

spikes are .25 of a full moose
raghorns are .50
50" + are 1 whole moose

confused ? should I use fractions or nah ?

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.

KillerBee,

It's missing something.

Gold embossed lettering like Beaver has on his lol

I just laughed when I saw this signature...

"Curiosity Killed the Cat & The Prairie Dog"

Good stuff right there!

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.

No, man. A muzzle brake!

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.

Agreed, also because am an excellent shooter, most people are not.

If you're referring to the 8" steel at 500 yards deal you mentioned earlier in the thread then you can't logically lay their lack of success at the feet of Nightforce.

I lay the lack of their success on their inferior shooting skills. Some of these guys even load their own cartridges.

Frankly, I do not shoot many steel plates, I find it rather boring. I prefer to hunt game in the field. I am an old-fashioned meat hunter that has been hunting for over 50 years, I don't need accolades and could care less. I hunt and shoot to put fine wild game on my dinner table.

I am not knocking any shooters, whatever turns your crank go for it, if shooting targets all day long makes you happy, if loading your own cartridges, whatever, I say go for it, to each his own.

The same holds true with my bow. Target shooting with my bow bores me. I shoot enough until I am satisfied that I can kill the animal I am hunting, then I go hunting and fill my freezer.

Too funny. You bought the Huskemaw at the same time you bought the Weatherby from Corlanes according to your own previous posting. Yet you've won many 500 yd shooting contests, even though you admit you've only shot the setup 17x. 1 shot contests I guess.

Must have been around the time you went from 300wsm to 300wm for the superior ballistics on elk at 500 yds huh?

Betting you couldn't hit a donkeys ass with a banjo Pinocchio.

Well, well, well it's not my Gay Boy, Sockpuppet, Stalker from Alberta Outdoorsman.

You are Pathetic, and I would kick your sad homosexual azz on any rifle, Skeet & Trap or Sporting Clays (Gun Down if you even know what that means you fruit), or bow range, sweety.

But do continue on stalking me Gay Boy, Sockpuppet, Stalker, it's hilarious watching you prove my point.

Cmon down south Pinocchio and I'll host you at the range. I'll even give you a nice handicap, not that your shooting ability isn't enough of one already,

You can take the 100yd setups and I'll take the 200's and we'll see who can do what. Them we'll take a few pops at 500 just to see if you can hit the 4' x 5' backer. Like I said previously Pinocchio, I know you can't hit a donkeys azz with a banjo and that you're all about smoke, mirrors, and fantasy land BS trying to be someone you're not.

As far as stalking you goes all I can say is You're Incorrect.. I'm here for your special brand of comedy just waiting for the inevitable implosion. Your posts are like that train crash one can't look away from. An expert on everything. Spewing the exact same made up BS in every hunting/shooting forum you've ever been thrown out of permanently, and that's a considerable number. Funniest thing tho is that site you keep mentioning couldn't have been as bad as you say because you kept trying to sneak back in under different aliases, what, 6 -8 times? 12? 20?

I do love the Killer Bee alias tho. Ironic considering you've never even killed anything with it. Bought for long range elk hunting? You don't even know where to find the elk in Alberta Pinocchio let alone hit one at long range.

Good morning Gay Boy, Sockpuppet, Stalker you sure are on the Troll early this morning. As I understand it the gay bars are open late so you probably just stumbled into your trailer after an evening dancing with the boys.


Comedy?

What makes you think I would want to drive anywhere to meet an armed, hostile, mentally challenged Stalker? Now that's funny.

Gay Boy, stalker, you are a special kind of stupid.



I never said I shot the Weatherby in any competition dummy, and I have owned the Huskemaw since 2011, the same year I bought my Mountain Ti which it was mounted on, and set up by Corlane, I shot with friends with my Mountain Ti with the Huskemaw on it, not the Weatherby. Learn how to read, dumbazz.

I bought the Weatherby in 2016. As I said, you are a special kind of stupid Gay Boy, Stalker and I will not respond to anymore of your BS Posts.

Some people don't understand MOA.

There is a fella on the Campfire, that says. "Just take notes and learn."
