My new rifle - a .22-250 Weatherby Fiberguard S/S Fluted

[nr.mclean]

Hey guys this is my first post. But i was just wondering if you guys could help me out. I just bought a .22-250 Weatherby Fibreguard S/S Fluted Barrel and am eager to test it out but due to PTA reasons cant for another couple of weeks. I am just wondering if any of you have similar rifles and could tell me how they shoot and if you would advise to get a custom trigger job done right away? Also could someone help me out with some hand loading information, i will probably only shoot factory ammo for a while till i get the hang of it. Also what factory ammo do you recommend, i have been told federal power shock and V shock are good?

Thanks for your help,

nr.mclean, welcome aboard. You rifle is an excellent choice and by all accounts are very accurate. I have a howa s/s in .223 (same action) that has shot a .29" 5 shot group @ 100yds after making a custom pillar/action bedded stock as the howa plastic/synthetic stocks were woeful until they changed to the current hogue stocks, point being that the best groups I could shoot till I GOT THE TRIGGER DONE were about 12-13 mil. Ring or email shane clancy and get a quote, it will be the best money you can spend IMHO.
Good luck with it,
Regards Alpal

cant agree with alpal more, great little rifle but as long as you consider replacing or getting a bit of work done to the stock and a quick trigger job these rifles really do shoot well! Then look at reloading some 50gr blitzkings and you will be right!
