    Nice. The two-toned stock is eye catching, and in a good way.

    .240 Weatherby Magnum

    History

    Introduced in 1968 for the Weatherby Mark V rifle, the .240 Weatherby was yet another addition to Roy Weatherby?s ?worlds fastest? family of cartridges. The .240 Weatherby still retains its status as the worlds fastest commercially available 6mm, mostly because it is very difficult to drive 6mm projectiles any faster due to case to bore expansion ratio limitations. In fact, it was because of these limitations that Weatherby chose the .30-06 cartridge case as the parent case design for the .240. No other Weatherby cartridge utilizes such a small case. The .240 is essentially the .30-06 necked down to 6mm (.243?) with a belt added (for a ?magnum? appearance) and a double radius improved shoulder.

    The .240 is very similar (velocity potential) to the .240 Holland and Holland Nitro Express released in 1923 and also the 6mm-06 and 6mm-.284 wildcat cartridges. The .240 has never been a highly popular cartridge for reasons that will be discussed in the performance section ahead. Nevertheless, for 6mm fans, the .240 Weatherby is a real powerhouse.

    Very nice! You could easily make $250 plus if you separate scope from rifle and sell! Nice indeed! :D

    Nice!

    That was the last cartridge designed by Roy Weatherby. That would be great on yots at long range and Antelope.

    I saw a guy shoot a Crocodile with one in Zambia it took the top of the head off of the croc at about 100m. He shot a bunch of other stuff with it and it worked well. I remember he was from France and for some reason I thought it was odd a Frenchman shooting a Weatherby :roll:

    Very nice! I think you did very well!!

    I too just bought a couple nice rifles for myself.
    Nothing says Christmas like a new gun!
    Just landed a Savage 99K 300 Sav. Factory Engraved take down. And a messed up old 99 250 Sav takedown with a Stith mount and old Weaver 2.5X scope. My new deer rifle. I think I just secured a Blacksmith built crude looking Set gun too. The cool stuff all comes at once!
    Merry Christmas to all!
