Few weeks ago a Weatherby Mark V Deluxe poped up in the classifieds here on the forum. I had never owned a 270 Weatherby Mag before so I figured what the heck.......I will take it. Well today I finaly got around to taking it to the range for a little session. I WAS BLOWN AWAY BY HOW ACCURATE THIS THING IS!!! I started it off at 50 yards and then moved to the 100 yard target and thats when it put a smile on my face. Last three shots were truely less than 1/2" at 100 yards with about a 18-20mph cross wind. In fact my #1 and #2 shots were perfectly in the same hole.......so just to make sure I didnt completly miss the target ( ) I moved to a different orange spot to fire #3. Sure enough it hit dang near the same spot. Factory ammo and bone stock gun too. And to top it all off the gun is pushing 30 years old!! Now I know that dang near everyone on this forum claims to have a gun that will shoot 1/2" 100 yard groups all day every day be we all know that aint possible. There just simply aint that many guns out there that can do it. Untill today I had only seen one gun actually print 1/2" groups at 100 yards but now I have seen 2 and its the first bone stock factory gun/ammo I have ever seen do it. So anyway I know the classifieds get alot of heat from people complaining about the prices and the "junk" that shows up for sale there but every now and then there is a true gem to be had.

Congratulations! The only thing better than being blessed w/ a rifle that accurate, is being blessed w/ a rifle that is that accurate that has the long range capability to take advantage of that accuracy. You must be stoked - I would be!

JCB, are your 2 most accurate rifles Weatherbys? The 270 and 340
Mine would be a 17 Remington 700 Classic and the 6.5-284 Cooper

I promised pics so here they are. Top orange dot is the 2for1 hole and the lower orange dot was shot #3. Orange dots are 1" so you can see if you lay the orange dots right on top of each other the group is under 1/2".
