Rem 700 in 257 weatherby

[Potsie]

somebody please buy this. Its the only caliber on my wish list I have never had and still really want. I cant keep looking at it, its even Kuiu for gods sake.

Just do it. You won’t regret it.

Boy am I glad I already own a .257, this is veeeeeery tempting

One of you other dudes should totally buy this thing, just do it, don't think about it!

I’m glad I’m a lefty. I have none of the self control you folks have when it comes to cool 700s

I gotta get rid of something or trade to get it. I literally cant fit another gun in my safe. And bought another safe and its full ( not guns but other stuff and ammo.

I know the feeling, I’m full and have one at the gunsmith. Not totally sure what I’m gonna do.

I’m in the same boat. However, Our new safe storage law here in Michigan waves the sales tax on new safes, so maybe I will upgrade.

What's the barrel length and contour?

What's the barrel length and contour?

It’s a 26” stainless fluted. I can’t remember what they said the twist was for the new barrel. I’d have to ask them. I want to say around 1:9. I know he said the twist was best for your standard 100-110 gr bullets in that caliber.

What a beauty!

I’ve already got two small safes, next step is combining all into one big one, but having a hard time coughing up the $3k for one that will allow some growth.

Whatever safe you’re eying, budget enough for one size bigger. We’re enablers, remember?

Price reduction. $1,500. I’ll probably just keep it for now for anything less than that.

 

[huntnfisher]

Absolutely awesome caliber! Of all of my rifles, my Weatherby .257 Wby mag is my favorite.

Thank you!

Fantastic round with an impressive pedigree & this one has very good components. It would be good to know for sure what the twist is.

I could probably find out by contacting them. I think he said 1:9. I know he said your standard 100-110 gr would be best in it most likely.

Could always check it yourself with a cleaning rod, a tight fitting patch and a piece of tape. Wrap the tape around the rod near the handle and leave a “flag” end on it. Insert patch in barrel. Make a mark in the cleaning rod that lines up with the back of the action. Watch the “flag” end of tape and note its position. Push rod in until flag end makes one rotation. Make another mark on rod even with the point in the back of the action you started with. Remove rod and measure distance between two marked points.

Bump. I’ll try one last time on here. $1,400.
