After years of wanting at 257 Weatherby mag I picked one up yesterday! A clean Remington 700 LSS limited run and I am stoked! Have two boxes of 120 nosler partitions and a Burris droptine 4.5-14x42 waiting to get it mounted on it. Can’t wait to get it sighted in.

Looks nice. Has it got the older trigger. I loved those triggers.

I’m believe it does. The person I bought it from has it tuned down to a nice 3 pounds, which isn’t light, but perfect for me.

scrub that barrel, make sure everything is tight, Don't be upset if the Partitions don't group as well as others.

Love the stock , lamination is your friend with wood. Great looking gun in a great caliber. Looks like you have good reloading supplies, should really shine with a great handload

Yes sir, hoping they’ll group an inch or better, if not I’ll probably work up a load with 110 grain accubonds or try to get the partitions shooting good with hand loads.

Any other tougher bullets I should try?

Looks good!


The secret to a long life is to try not to shorten it.

My Remington, SPS 257wby shoots bug holes with a variety of ammo. Remington got something right with it.
