Hi everyone. I am getting a gun from a guy and I can't seem to find much info on it so I am hoping someone can give me some. It is a Remington 700, synthetic/stainless with detachable magazine chambered in 300 Weatherby Mag. He told me that this rife was made for one year only, 1997. It has had the action trued and trigger tuned by Remington factory gun smiths. Also, the bolt is jeweled and the receiver dawns custom engraving. The gun is in mint condition and only has 61 rounds down the pipe.
I will be trading my Tikka M595 in 22-250 for the 300 Wby. Do you think this is smart? I know that Wby ammo is expensive (I already have a 257 Wby) and they recoil pretty good, but I am using it for hunting Black Bear and Moose and I can handle the recoil. I have shot much bigger with no problem.
Also, what are the Spitzer Weatherby Ammo like. I know that they only cost half as much as the Barnes TSX ammo. Can comeone help me out here and thanks in advance to all for your help.
