Winchester 300 Weatherby
Does anyone own a Winchester Model 70 XTR in 300 Weatherby? I recently purchased one and am wondering what to expect as far as accuracy with the factory 24" barrel. Also, were the Winchester rifles that were chambered in Weatherby cartridges freebored the same as Weatherby rifles?

Not what you've asked I realize......

I have two of the New Haven classic CRF in .300 Weatherby, one chrome moly, one stainless.

Both have freebore. If you get no responses and would like more info PM me....

They do.

Any rifle chambered to SAAMI spec's will have freebore and that covers all factory offerings.
