I put a send-it combo digital/bubble level on my 338 LM. I like it--the trick is getting it located on the rail where you can see it out of your peripheral vision.
All of the Weatherby DG rifles have iron sights.Nice, but that set-up looks heavy. Probably a great bench rifle though. But for hunting, no thanks.
Some of the more trim and 'svelte' Weatherbys might do.
But the main issue I have with Weatherby rifles is none of the ones I ever seen come with a set of iron sights. I prefer rifles with back-up irons in case the scope goes down during a hard hunt.
'Course, far too many hunters today can't shoot iron sights worth a frig o' beans anyway.
I have seen reticles get totally whacked by big calibers such as those used in Dangerous Game hunting. You never hunt DG alone and it's common for your partner or guide to carry a rifle with open sights.Agtman,
I never understood that!
What the heck are you doing that your breaking a scope?
In all my years i have NEVER had a scope failure!
And yes, Linestretchers rifle is a range gun.
I have a custom Mauser in 284 Win, with attractive lines. But i don't like to hunt with it. Weighs 10 lbs!
And i'll accept your open sight challenge!

agtman, I've never broken scope and none of my hunting rifles has iron sights and sure things happen. I'm not sure what real markman suppose to be but for me if I broke scope I'd get back to camp and get my back-up rifle.
Outfitter I know have extra rifle in camp so I've never worried about that.
Outfitter??? What's that??
I'm strictly a DIY hunter.
