Again, you will not be disappointed with your new Accumark. It is a magnificent rifle.

I've had an accumark in 30-378 since they came out.I really liked the gun at first. But think more along the lines of Boxer and Dober now.
It shoots wonderful, always has..But its a beast, not really a handy/dandy hunting rig. I hated the stock, it was replaced with a McMillan soon after i bought it. hard pill to swallow, buying a 1500 $ rifle, and imediatly throwing away the stock and speinding 600 bucks on the replacement, all the while knowing I fugged up, but too proud to admit it...
Mine is being made into a 20 or so pound LR rig in 338-378 Tejas, and will see very little time in the field from now on.
My opinoin is the 30-378 and 338-378 are nich cartridges, offered in a rifle that only half assed covers that nich..Not a hunter, and not a great LR gun. Dont paint yoruself in a corner, cuz for the same money you can have a rifle that you aint gonna bitch at everytime you pack it...Just my .02

Experience and opinions on the Wby Mk V Accumark for longish range mule deer, elk and bear hunting?
And... What thoughts on .30-378 & .338-378 ? I've had an accumark in 30-378 since they came out. It shoots wonderful, always has.. Does that answer the orginal posters question?

In the first place, one doesn`t buy an Accumark for the purpose as a handier or lighter rifle. It is a long ranged, flatter terrained and open country rifle.
The 30-378 imo, is more overbored than is the 338-378. Hence imo, the 338-378 will have somewhat a better barrel life.
The choice of either the 30-378 or 338-378 depends on what the OP has now or what he feels he needs.

I have a 7mm Weatherby Accumark and love it and it shoots! I like the extra weight for two reasons; it helps tame the recoil so I don't need a brake and it's really steady to shoot off hand if I have to.

The choice of either the 30-378 or 338-378 depends on what the OP has now or what he feels he needs. Please describe a single head of Game you've taken with said rifle and feel free to touch upon terrain,distance,etc. "Overbored" is the affect you have on people,due to your "experience" and "knowledge"....though mainly your stupidity.

And what does killing game have anything to do with anything such as terrain and distance? The cartridge speaks for itself. In order to comment on this thread, I don`t need to have killed any game with my Accumark nor have used it yet in the field. Well as usual, you are quite the azz hole. While throwing in your insults, you always tell people how stupid they are and yet always fail to explain thoroughly as to why in a none insulting manner???.....Yup! With all due respect of which you don`t deserve, you are a pathetic driveler.

Very powerful "testimony"! Thanks for that keen insight.

I'd not slight that the average 5yr old has a better grip on reality than you. What else do you pretend,besides Hunting? Thanks.

Hey Guy (OP)...Whatever Boxer aka the Big Schitstick advises, do exactly the opposite.
Cannot lose and you`ll get your game just the same.
