Re: Weatherby dangerous game rifle?

The DGR also comes in 416 Rem and 458 Lott. However, they are not in line feed like the 378 based calibres. Nothing is more reliable at cycling cartridges than a 378 based calibre from the custom shop.

The DGRs are expensive for a plastic gun as they come via the custom shop and I can tell you what comes from there is good.

If you intend to use the open sights a lot you can have problems as the stock is the Accumark stock with sling swivel changes and the cheek piece a little to high for some people. The wood/blue Safari has a modified stock and the comb is a little lower.

As a side note, if you reload then loading a 460 to equal the 458 Lott is a breeze and also the 458 Win. 97 grains of 4064 will give around 2300 with 500 grainers and is about 7 grains less than maximum for 4064 or Varget.

I would also recommend you explore the custom shop for what they do apart from the pre packaged guns like the DGR and Safari andn others. The website will get you started and then phone them. One option is the Krieger cut rifling match barrel and action work. Apart from the quality barrel you can order all sorts of contours and twist rates and lengths and so on. But make sure your check book is cashed up
