My favourite all-arround rifle

[Mihai Ionut-Daniel]

My favorite medium caliber
Custom Dorleac&Dorleac Technical rifle in 300 weatherby made by my brother Joel Dorleac.
The gun that aloud me to shoot Marco Polo at 645m, croc, leopard, red deer, mouflon, tones of plains game… everything was down in less then 20 m
Unfortunately it’s my son gun now… afther he shot a huge kudu bull and an oryx bull at 270m at only 13 years…

Nice rifle. How does the "can" work.
I'm not up to speed on these. Lower velocity, how much sound suppression, accuracy?

Bet it is interesting for the tracker and PH when that thing goes off with the muzzle brake mounted. Does it have a cap for hunting without the brake or can?

That is one sweet rifle!
I just love the .300 Weatherby - easily the coolest .30 Magnum.
Just a great set-up

With the can it’s like a 22lr as noise and recoil.
Precision? I can put 3 bulets in a 3 cm circle at 300 m. For me is enough.
I had never mesured speed and pression.
Off course there is a difference when shooting with the muzl3brake. 20 cm lower with the silencer.

I have all 3. Cap, muzzle and silencer.
99% I use the silencer and my PH and trackers are very pleased.

I have seen several rifles your brother has made. He is a true artist!

He is. I have one 17.rem, one 6XC, one 7x57, one 300 weath and two 404 in the making...

I made the mistake of going to the Dorleac&Dorleac website. Oh my that company makes some fine pieces.

340 Wby is my favorite rifle

 

[Phil Giordano]

Mine is my Sauer 8x68S - hard hitting, flat shooting, easy on the shoulder, can load heavy bullets. Can't ask any better.

 

[IvW]

7x57mm is my go to bushveldt pg rifle on a Brno mod 21....

@homeless
As good as the little 338WM is supposed to be I will stick with my 35 Whelen at the same velocities as the little 338.
If I want more oomph a 310gn Woodleigh RNSP or solid at 2,455fps should get the job done on bigger stuff at closer ranges.
For reach out and smack em down the 225gn Woodleigh or accubond at 2,900fps is plenty good enough.
Weight range from 180gn to 310gn covers everything from mouse to as big as I want to hunt.
