Any of you guys roll with the 257 Weatherby? It looks like an order quantity of at least 5 barrels is required. Still waffling between the 257, 6.5 PRC, or maybe the 280AI or even the 270 WBY. Mule deer / Whitetail / Antelope.
Ah, decisions decisions. Will be running a Swaro Z5 3-18.
WOO HOO!!!

I was able to stop in last Tuesday on my way to a job in Wichita Falls and put my order in.I was there about 30 min and the phones where still blowing up with TBH orders.
Tier 1 280ai with 24" barrel,a manners tan/brown sponge with a little black ambush.
Midnight Bronze action and radial break.Every one there knows their stuff about these rifles.Spent a few min talking with the paint guy,a very sharp young man.I have never ordered a custom rifle and left there very impressed with the staff and products they offer.

He will tell you. The "rule of thumb" is to get the scope as close to the barrel without touching.
This being said, he will ask you if you are using any type of Len's cover, this, can make a big difference in your choice.
I might have a brand new set of Talleys I'll sell you. BECAUSE, I bought lows and highs, kept the one that didn't fit.
What ranges are you going to be shooting to? You should have enough elevation in your Lupey so you may not need the 20MOA in the rail.

Barrels are like tires, they can be replaced when they run out of tread. In a dedicated hunting rig, I'm guessing it would take a LONG time to burn out a PRC barrel (as compared to something like a 6.5-300 WBY).
To me, what’s important is flat trajectory in tandem with a relatively high BC projectile (which would mean a 1:7.5 twist in 257WBY and blackjacks), for those potential 10 second shot opportunities; "point - shoot - boom". It's always about the "what if".
Really torn on cartridge selection – much more than I should be. I guess at the end of the day it all comes down to making the shot. In my head, drop isn’t as important “wind voodoo”, which is why I’d probably run with the blackjacks out west.
UGH.

Thanks, Yea I usually do call Talley on my other orders but they are for production rifles, I didn't know if they would be able to help me with a custom. I will give them a call and see what they say.
Is it the lows you have to sell?
