Alabama. Jul 11, 2015. #8. Literally ANY aftermarket brand (with a price-tag higher than $250) is going to be better than a factory Weatherby (Criterion) barrel. So, any of the major brands you should be happy with...Bartlein, Brux, Douglas, Obermeyer, Lilja, Krieger, Benchmark, Pac-Nor, Hart, and the list goes on.
Arizona. Mar 17, 2020. #8. The biggest difference between the German and all other origins is the vintage German barrels are 1:12 twist. For hunting, the 1:12 is accurate with a bit lighter bullet. A hunting partner of mine has a German made MK V 300 Wby which shoots sub MOA out to 500 with lighter bullets.
Bell and Carlson: Bell and Carlson Weatherby MKV 9-Lug Varmint/Tactical, Fully Adjustable. Bell and Carlson is a leader in synthetic stock design, technology and manufacturer of the highest quality fiberglass, aramid and graphite gun stocks available. www.bellandcarlson.com.
Idaho. Dec 2, 2020. #13. Check out AG Composites carbon fiber stocks, They have Weatherby stocks in stock, but they may need to build a perfect fit LH'er for you. I also have McMilllan and Manners stocks, and I prefer AG Composites. 1/4 the turn around time of a custom Manners and IMO better quality.
Weatherby released the 6.5-300 Weatherby Mag. also. If you want to try something bigger you might consider the .338 Win. Mag. or the .340 Weatherby Mag. Classic cartridges would include the .300 H&H mag. or the .375 H&H Mag. both of which can be loaded for higher or lower energy requirements.
Stock on the weatherby is a Bell and Carlson with the bedding block. For a hunting gun the shape works. Especially off a tripod standing. @ 7#s the Seekins Havak offers 24-26" fluted barrel timney triggers in your calibers plus the 6.5PRC 28 nos. and 300win mag. Barrels are threaded 5/8-24
Most Remington factory screws are too short anyway. Makes a build look super sharp when the screws are perfectly fit. Get a proper fitting hollow ground slotted head driver for the Weatherby screws and you can torque them as high as 65 inch pounds without them slipping. Once bedded I only torque them to 45 inch pounds.
Apr 21, 2022. #4. I would agree with option 1. When I decided to rebarrel my 7mm Weatherby, I ended up having a 3 contour 9 twist Bartlein put on it and I have no regrets for a sporter hunting rifle. At the time I was pricing, Weatherby was a little more expensive than ordering a Bartlein and having the local gunsmith install it.
71, a Mark V is minimum $1500 with a light sporter barrel with the Accumark over $2000. You can build a darned nice rifle for that on a Remington action. I think you could save some $$$ with the build. I only own Weatherbys which I purchased for their caliber and classic style. Good luck and be happy with your choice.
The Mark V trigger assembly has two socket cap (Allen-type) adjusting screws. The socket cap screw on the bottom of the trigger assembly adjusts for weight and trigger pull, and is for your use. The socket cap screw on the top of the trigger assembly adjusts sear engagement ("creep"), and is for use by Weatherby factory and Authorized Service ...
