    Weatherby 307.

    Has anyone got their hands on one? I'm interested in the 240 wby mag or 6.5 rpm.

    Cheers.

    Why don’t you go 257 weatherby. More popular. There’s a bunch of us on a facebook group called Any 25 cal fans in NZ. Have a look. It’s a great cartridge. Every thing is available here in nz and some good projectiles being made for it now

    I like their approach to piggybacking modularity and they are doing the lightweight thing sensibly. I enquired today here with a gunshop guy who should know . . . . But there is still no importer so that's NZ goosed for them!

    Had one. It was great fun. They need a 1-7 twist or similar for the new bullets though.
