Just bagged my 5th bull with my Weatherby 30/378 in NM in Oct 24.
Just over 400 yard shot. Just an incredible rifle and caliber. Highly recommend.

I was introduced to Mark Thompson of Thompson Long Range through a Hunting Client back in 2016. This Client had shown up for a booked Antlerless Elk Hunt in Central Utah with me as his Guide and Outfitter. This was going to be the first Elk that this Hunting Client had ever taken if we were successful. He had mentioned, “Thompson Long Range” and his “Weatherby 30-378 Wby. Mag.”, and he claimed that he could hit targets at 1000+ Yds. repeatedly. -I had heard this claim before and I had also suffered the negative effects of believing (and trusting) such a bold claim. Well, opening morning it just so happened that the Elk which I had located were at 650 Yds. I was still very skeptical about this Client’s Claim of accuracy but I decided that I would let him take the shot as it was really the only option for a shot at the Elk. The Client got a solid rest in the prone position and squeezed off the round. I was digiscoping the shot and I watched the vapor trail of the bullet arc out and then impact the Elk’s chest right in the “pocket” and into the “boiler room”. The Elk dropped in it’s tracks. Long story short after hunting for over 40 years I adopted this rifle as my personal weapon system and my, “go to” recommendation for any Client. If you want to get real about, “going the distance”, get this weapon system and get to Mark Thompson’s, “Long Range Shooting School”. It will be the best investment in hunting that you have ever made – well, superior optics for spotting are neck and neck but both are essential elements of my tackle box.

Straight out of the box accuracy to 1200 yds (30-378). Haven’t tried any further! Taken 6 elk from 234 yds to 700+. Introduced my outfitter to it. Now one of his first recommendations. Now I guide for him. It’s the “can I borrow your rifle”, rifle. Also 2 pigs. All one shot kills. Reticle is ballistically matched to the caliber. Low recoil. Sell off your dead money safe queens. It’s just awesome. Ditto in 240 Weatherby Magnum. First pig, 212 yards and one shot. If you can hold your sight picture, the gun does the rest.
