Thanks so much! Pleasure doing business!

I have a Sako 75 stainless 30/06 that shoots really well. These rifles are excellent in every way. At $900 you can barely buy a cheap Tikka for that!

I think the 308 is the next logical step. If that would make it somewhere between 30/06 and 300 WM in performance from a 20” barrel, it would be perfect. Heck, even if it gave 30/06 performance from a 20” barrel, it would be great. And I would think that every bolt action rifle ever chambered in...

Whatever you decide to do, I’d use brass solids instead of cast lead.

Yes. I would bet that the steel scope rail would be the ticket. Murphy precision makes some very nice steel rails, just not sure if they do Weatherby or not.

I’m well aware of that situation! I’m typing this now while wearing both contacts and readers. lol!

Somariba in Florida? If so, good folks to work with as well!

I’ve been five times since 2018. Not going this year, but have been looking at options for the future. Whatever or wherever that is, a buffalo or two will be involved.

I was about to call him and recommend a good eye dr. lol!

No sir. It has both the banded front sight and sling swivel. My hand is covering the sling swivel band on the barrel.

I know this is a bit late, but here’s the Elephant Bull I took in April 2025. R8 Pro S 458 Win Mag with 450gr CEB solids.

They just wanted to see what was under my nickers. LOL!

Looks like you’ve got it dialed in with the irons. Have you mounted a scope on it yet? Or just sticking with irons? PS Sorry about your dog.

Thanks for the info! How do you like the Weatherby 416 rifle itself? Does it feed and function smoothly?

Why do you feel they made the 416 Wby throat so short, compared to the rest? I’m currently considering a DGR in 416 Wby just to try out. I’d probably hand load it to 416 Rigby pressures/velocity for ultimate reliability and shoot ability, so not sure how much the throat size matters on this...
