You will not be disappointed.

I'll give it a try. Thank you for commenting.

Excellent advice!

Thank you! I hadn't paid attention. I'm trying to get better at the videos and comments like yours help.

Excellent! Thank you for commenting. Question, did you put any sealer on the inside of the stocks?

That seems like a pretty good price change. I would give them a call 361-550-7033 just to check with them in person. I found them really good to work with. Thank you for sharing.

You are very correct and the good thing is a good stock can transform a cheap gun into something new, thank you for your comment.

I have found once the method and setup is done it goes pretty quick. What did you use to clean the cutting compound off? I've used purple power, WD40, and Free-All rust penetrant to good success.

I don't have a 300REM however I do have a couple videos planned for 300 H&H and 375 H&H and their versatility. What is your favorite cartridge?

Thank you for your comment. I have and will always give my honest opinion on products I use and review. I try to keep it down to earth and practical.

@@user-bq8xz2zc5n thank you.

@@theadventuresofgeneralhool I believe it is going to be very solid rifle. I’m glad it’s showing great potential with 60gr bullets. Can’t wait to get back out and give it a bit more attention. Thank you for the feedback.

Thank you for the question, 7mm08 is 22" medium weight 1-9.5 twist

Did it improve? Did they fix it?

@@JimmyChrisawn after 200 rounds I sold it. Best group I could get out of it was 1.25

@@ryanhigdon2343 I really hate that happened! I hope is was a one off incident. I'll post a video on it either way and let you know how it went for me. Thank you for sharing.

The next video on this CVA will be out soon. Thank you

After a bit of fine tuning on my load it has settled in at under an inch at 100+ yards and under 1.5" at 200 yards. It likes the Nosler Accubond 165's. Let me know how you like the 270 in the 307.

Let me know how you like it. Love mine!

Hey Barry, thank you for the kind words and subscribing. The rifle has really came into its own as far as accuracy and function. I plan on doing a range session with it in a week or so to share on the channel. I will get it out next week and see if a standard Remington (BDL) bottom metal will work with the Weatherby stock and let you know. I suspect it will.

Thank you for sharing the excellent tips!

I agree. I only neck size after fireforming. I bought some 280AI brass and loaded them, fired them, and only neck sizing from that point forward. One of my favorite characteristics of the AI cartridge is the stability of the brass.

Hey Steve no forgiveness needed. The only bad question is the one not asked. I would say yes this scope will work on an AR platform. Still being able to use iron sights would require mounting the scope on a detachable mount. This would be the case no matter the scope you would want to mount. You can get see through mounts, however I have found that they cause the scope to be very high and thus difficult to get a cheek weld to use the scope effectively. Thank you for your question and I hope my reply helps.

Thank you, sir. This absolutely helps me make a decision as every little bit of information helps me get comfortable with my new AR 15 rifle.

@@stevemendez3535 You are very welcome

I really like the scope! Eye relief is good on the one I have at max zoom it's about three inches. Yes, that is a Magpul Hunter stock. The barrel is a medium Palma profile. They are excellent stocks. I have a video on them on the channel. Thank you for the comments and questions.

Thanks for watching!

Thank you

To my knowledge it is not a standard chambering for them.

Yes, it is for the 307. Just do a search and you'll see it.

Thank you

If it were me, owning both brands of rifle, I would go with the Weatherby 307. I've been very pleased with mine.

I do not know the weight of the 307 stock. That's one aspect I have not checked. When I had the action out of the stock it seemed to be of average weight for a synthetic stock.

I wonder who's it could be...

My 307 280AI is shooting pretty good. (I'm going to do a range day video with it when Wyoming winter breaks) It took around 100 rounds, some stock work, and I had to touch up the crown (might not have been necessary) but it's shooting inside an inch at 100 yards very consistently with Nosler 165 Accubond. I have only shot the 25-06AI (on the table in the video) 40 rounds with 25-06 factory brass fireforming to AI chamber. Thus the jury is still out on how well it will shoot, but so far it is looking good. I'll be doing a video on it in the near future with more detailed information. I hope this answers your question. Thank you for the question.

Yes I do recommend a barrel break in. Give it a good cleaning first thing and begin with a clean dry bore. They have a break in procedure on their website or I can recommend one I've used for years and it seems to get good results. Let me know how it goes. That was a good buy and it looks like you have a good setup. I like the diamondback series from Vortex. I cannot recommend a better bore cleaner than Bore Tech Eliminator Gun Cleaning Solvent. It's hands down the best I have ever used. All of their products are excellent and their copper solvent is excellent. No odors to boot. Good luck and enjoy.

The four you listed are all excellent choices. I honestly think the Tikka and or the 307 would be my picks. The 30-06 is a time proven cartridge. If you reload it becomes and even better option. On the other side, if you don't reload, there are a lot of good factory loaded ammo options. It and the 308 are likely the most popular calibers with the most readily available options for factory ammo. Don't overlook the 308 as a option as it preforms very closely to the 30-06 in a shorter action and a slightly lighter rifle. Let me know what you chose, I'll be interested to hear.

I have owned Tikka and Bergara and out of the 2, I would go with Tikka, hands down. I have a Tikka CTR and a Bergara B-14 HMR. My Bergara averages somewhere around 1.1-1.2 MOA for 5-shot groups with the best handloads I could work up for it. My Tikka on the other hand averages slightly under 0.5 MOA for 5-shot groups and is considerably lighter. That said, if you only care about what your gun looks like, the Bergara has a better looking stock. That's about the only good thing I can say about the Bergara.

I love the machine. I just annealed 1,000 223 brass and it was excellent and very consistent.

Yes it's very simple if you don't need to get longer screws for the action. Even then it is not a big problem just takes a bit of time to fit the new screws to the correct length.

@@JimmyChrisawn thank you! I'll see if my Dad can help me with it! 😏

Thank you for your comment. You are correct the better or more accurate term would be hood. As to jeweling, you are somewhat correct in the terms origin. It referred to "watch Jeweling" the process of installing real or synthetic jewels as bearings. However like many things these terms come to be used for many different processes, such as in this case, the decorative/functional aspect of abrading the bolt body and or barrel hood or other parts is commonly called jeweling or engine turning. see the following definition. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_firearms_terms#:~:text=Jeweling%3A%20A%20cosmetic%20process%20to,metal%20in%20a%20circular%20pattern.

@@JimmyChrisawn Have to admit most do not know the origin of actual jeweling. What we do to guns to mimick scraping is just a common yet vulgar term. Slang if you will. Thank you for the reply. I will go like, hell even subscribe.

Mike, so much of the old school school trades is being lost in our society today I sometimes wonder how people will survive. I think conversations like this one, between us, can highlight this and maybe inform people in some way keeping it alive. Thank you for your reply as well.

My Conquest is several years old and has a 1" tube. However you are correct the newer ones are 30mm tubes. Thank you for sharing.

I agree!

No doubt they are excellent rifles. I've had a few Vanguards over the years and always were great rifles. Thank you for sharing.

It takes a standard AICS magazine. You can get a three round magazine (to replace the 5). The Kimber is a fine rifle but has a very lightweight barrel. It starts being inconsistent after three rounds. Here is a link to the 3 round magazine. Hope this answers your question and helps.

@JimmyChrisawn thanks i do like that alot better. I do like Weatherby mark 5 hunter 280AI badlands to. Mark 5 has the 1@9 twist. Browning has a 1@8 twist. Going to start out with a hornady eld x 162gr and go up to a 175gr in different brands. I have several boxes of Berger 168gr VLD hunting bullets.

The 307 is 1/9. Mine likes 160 Nosler Acubond and Partition, and the 168 Berger. I found it took about 50 rounds to see it come into is own for accuracy. But with all three and IMR4350 it is 1/2" at 100 yards easy. I haven't tried anything heavier yet but want to try some hammer bullets. Let me know which one you end up with.

Trapper, Graf and Sons usually have 280AI Peterson brass in stock and sometimes so does Midsouth Shooters Supply. Midsouth sometimes has primed 280AI brass and both are head stamped 280AI, just FYI www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/item/0011510175/280-remington-ackley-improved-unprimed-rifle-brass-50-count

@@JimmyChrisawn i have been buying once fired brass. Nosler 280AI once fired 100 ct for 100.00. I am going to try the Hornady 162gr eld x. Berger 168gr vld. Classic 150gr and 175gr. Nosler 150gr and 175 ab.

I'm still field testing it and will update the unboxing and first impressions with more indepth information soon.

I think you will be very pleased. Really simple to use, great results, and really well built! I actually have come to greatly appreciate putting brass in one at a time. It has let me give the brass a quick look before it hits the heat. Enjoy and let me know what you think or if you have any questions.

Thank you for sharing. I love the 7mm08 in mine for sure. It loves 140gr Nosler Accubond's on top of IMR4350.

How do you like 300PRC? I've been using a 300 H&H for the last 45+ for my 30 cal hunter.

@@JimmyChrisawn Good day Sir So far I’m very happy with the 300 PRC cartridge. Seems to be a great choice for a shooter looking for a 300 magnum. Found it easy to load for and is very accurate. Recoil is like my model 70 300 Win mag which is another excellent cartridge. I wanted to shoot heavy bullets without the twist and mag constraints of my old Win rifle. My Bergara B 14 has been extremely accurate and I believe I made the right choice picking that rifle. Want to know anything else just let me know? Take Care

I'll look into it in the spring when the weather here in Wyoming breaks. Thank you for replying. I may have questions down the road.

@@JimmyChrisawn 10 4

The Ridge has a couple more chambering options, heavier barrel profile, threaded barrel, a changeable bolt knob (comes with larger/tactical style) and of course the heavier barrel profile adds a bit more weight. Compared to the Hunter the Ridge is a bit less balanced tending to be a bit heavy to the front. Hope this helps

@@JimmyChrisawn thanks, I ended up getting the hunter in 30-06 with a Steiner scope.

Which rifle received your highest rating the weatherby 370 or Bergara ?

@@djl0fne The 307 for sure! It feels like a quality rifle and the Bergara, compared, feels less refined and cheaper.

@@JimmyChrisawn I’m trying to decide between b-14 hmr and weatherby 307

My pleasure
