Chuck Hawks touches on both Weatherby actions in his assesment of the finest bolt action rifles. Of course it's just another opinion, but arguably, a learned one. He makes some interesting choices and refers to the Mark V as probably the strongest action in the world. I would also have picked at least a couple of the others he picked, particularly the Mannlicher-Schoenauer.

Enjoy:

Dang! I didn't see that one coming! I felt certain that you'd whole heartedly agree. I feel so foolish...

I appreciate your humor as well; but honestly, it's your unpredictability that makes you so fascinating.

Regurgitated thoughts. You're not interesting anymore - you'll have to play by yourself now.

Constant weaknesses do form trends and your "experience" would be one of many.

Guy, the 300 Ultra you sold to Rocky's several years ago is a fine shooter. My budy that bought it hasn't fired more than 40 rounds through it since then, but it is a shooter. We'll be looking for elk again with it this year.

I have the Accumark 338/378 and it has awesome hitting power way past 800 yds. It spits out the 300 grain SMK at 2850 ft/sec so do that math. I reload using the trusted old 7828 now in SC format. Mount a NF with range finder recticle and you have a really good combo. Make sure to use the electronic ear muffs that block out blasts and multiplies your earing skills 10 times.
Walker units are recommended. If you don't have these take off the brake for hunting. POI doesn't change on mine anyway. Roll your own. Store rolled stuff is too pricey.

My .340 Wby Accumark is the most accurate rifle I own and can shoot:

[Linked Image]

Note 378Canuck, if I reloaded, I probably would prefer the .338-378, but for the time, CorBon offers a great .340 load that performs about as well as Wby factory .338-378. I get an average MV out of my Accumark on my chrono of 3,160 fps with the CB 225gr TTSX ammo. I know two others who also exceed 3,150 fps with that ammo. Since I left the military, I don�t shoot out to 800 yds anymore, but assuming the 0.514 B.C. for the 225gr TTSX, it should be moving at 2,432 fps (2,955 ft-lbs) at 400 yds. (I assume you can get higher MV from your .338-378 handloads).

And the rifle easily produces 3/4 MOA groups when I do may part. It might do even better, but I'm not capable of making it do so.

In any event my Accumark and my other Mark-V (.375 Wby DGR) both have been awesome and are my favorite rifles. The unique nine-lug bolt, with its lower bolt lift and shorter bolt throw, IMO make it about as reliable and smooth as a rifle can be.

[Linked Image]Nice bear, nice rifle -Near mounts? Pic of mine not so good. The bolts are 3/8. She doesn't move anymore. Accumark are well made rifles. Action like butter. I just tip mine forward and the bolt slides on it's own. Not CRf but haven't had to roll over on my back to shoot anything yet. Just put a pic of few other cartridges I load in my Harem for comparison.

All of us Accumark owners not only prove, but trump anything Boxer aka Schitstick (a "NON" Accumark owner) says about them.

Whatever the clown prince and the troll sniper monkey`s opinions are about anything, take with a grain of salt and do the opposite.

He takes what other members of his disliking own, trashes what they own, then touts all his experiences with those rifles he trashes but yet has never owned them.

The man lies to try and prove himself.

To the OP. Hope you find the Accumark to your liking and buy one.
Right back in Schitstick`s face.....

"Oddly enough" the rifle pictured with the Rat Bear isn't an Accumark,'bigsqueeze has pictures of nothing and "butter bolts" are moot.

For frosting...a .284" 162 A-Max at 3150fps and a like zero ala 7WSM ,gives away next to nothing in the exchange and does not require electronic hearing devices,a muzzle brake nor a Cub Permit.

Bless her heart.

.........Gee Schittystick. Bless your little immature heart. No 7mm is a 338-378. Don`t mind the brake and the noise. Kinda like it. Wimps like you would have a more difficult more though.

I know that`s not an Accumark w/the bear. And what do you see in the other pics dummy? Accumarks.

Have 8 large photo albums containing thousands of hunting pics over many years. Wanna come to So Cal to see them?

I don`t enjoy the company of cowards, liars and those with a great deal of immaturity, but in your case I`ll make you the welcome exception.

Then you`ll have your big chance to test my imagination and realities up close and personal.
