Building a 300 Weatherby Mag. Just looking to go to 2k yds with it. Damn thing will thump the hell out of you, so I decided to get a recoil absorbing stock to (try to) start load development. Well, felt recoil was considerably lowered, but everything forward of the recoil absorber bucks pretty wildly, so I wont be shooting it much until I get a brake installed, which I should have done sooner. It probably wouldn't kick so hard if I used lighter bullets, but I don't see the point of having that much powder capacity just to push 150-180 gr bullets. Have some 208 A-Max's ready to test and have some 215 and 230 gr Bergers sitting around. Anyhow anyone have any ELR experience with a 300 WBY?
Anyhow |
| Well I've been waiting on them to call my powerball nnumbers so I can get Schmidt & Bender PMII 3-27x, but they wont call them, starting to think it's rigged. I'd like to get something nice line S&B, Nightforce ir swarovski, but thats gonna take quite a while rosacea up for. |

Anyhow If you are looking at scopes there are only a few options if you are serious about 2K as a goal. Nightforce ATCAR or Beast, S&B 5-25 PMII or a US Optics offering. No need looking into other high end scopes like Swaro, Zeiss, etc they can't get you there. There may be others that can get you there but I cannot think of any at the moment. You will also need a reticle with 20 MOA of holdover. Hopefully this will help you in your choice of optics.
