300 wby cartridge have a track record on game world wide equaled by few others. This is due to that they are no longer made there but, not any better.įor large game, there is no better combination for me than the Mark V in. The German models tend to bring a little more money on the used market. Both produce less than 1-inch groups at 100 yards. My first Mark V was a deluxe model also in. It too has an adjustable trigger and tight tolerances in the action. My factory Accumark (.300 wby) comes with a heavy contour stainless fluted Krieger barrel, Bell & Carlson hand laminated stock with bedding plate, and Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad. The Mark V has better quality yet and a shorter bolt throw. They also have a better stock than the plain injected molded ones. The Sub-MOA models are hand picked from the factory that shoot to that designation. Nothing wrong with the Vanguard as it’s made well and they are fairly accurate.
You wouldn't go wrong with a Howa, and if you want a Weatherby cartridge without it beating the snot out of you, get one in 257 Wby.
Very well made and usually extremely accurate.
WAR EAGLE Re: Fair Market Value on Japanese Weatherby Mark V Re: OldCenterChurch 6208399 02/22/12. The Vanguard, which is made by Howa of Japan, are one of the best values for the price out there these days. I think the Jap made Weatherbys are the best ones made. They were make by SAKO Defense (not the same as Sako Finland) on the east coast, but when they got bought out the Weatherby Mk V is made by another American contractor now.Īs for the Vanguard, I don't know who told you they were junk rifles, but whoever it was, don't listen to them about guns again, ever. Weatherby's have been made in Germany, Japan and now by an American contractor. The Southgate, CA stamp is on there because that's where Weatherby is headquartered, but the guns have historically always been made by a contractor. As a result I have a hard time understanding speech in a moderately noisy room, especially higher (female) voices. I've lost some of my hearing already, likely because of gunfire without hearing protection, and I'm only 33 years old. Loud enough to cause permanent hearing damage with one unprotected shot. A braked rifle, especially one that burns as much powder as the Wby, will be EXTREMELY LOUD. Just make SURE you ALWAYS use hearing protection, even while hunting. 300 Wby, well, if you can't take the recoil, you can certainly have a brake installed. If so, I'd say if the price is good, go for it. to your FFL who must be willing to accept from a non licensee.If it's the barrel is marked "West Germany" that would mean that it's several years old (1990 or before, since Germany reunified in 1990 and "West" Germany ceased to exist), and probably a used rifle.
#WEATHERBY MARK V JAPAN PLUS#
Price is plus USPS Priority Shipping/Ins. An extra cart- ridge may then be loaded directly into the cham- ber by. MO or personal check, I will ship when funds clear my bank. The magazine of your Weatherby Mark V will hold three. You have the 3 day non firing inspection period. Though Weatherby rifles have been produced in California, Denmark, Finland, Germany and Japan, Mark Vs have been made exclusively in the United States since 2011, and today the Paso Robles plant assembles every Mark V rifle and performs other critical processes. The original Mark V action is ideal in size and weight for big magnum cartridges, but it is a bit much for standard-size cartridges such as the.270 Winchester and.30-06 Springfield. I will send the Imgur link with all the pictures to any interested parties. Walking the factory floor, I was able to witness the production of a Mark V rifle. Overall an honest 98%-99% rifle that has been used but not abused. The scope itself is perfect in and out with what I would call a heavy duplex. The rear mount screws look as though the previous owner was in a bit of a hurry as the slots show Blue wear and some buggering. They look like Leupold or Redfield but are not marked with their logo. Topped with a WBY Supreme 3 x 9 scope in unmarked rings and mounts. The close up pictures will show them but with the factory high gloss finish they are tough to see. There are a few small pressure dings (1/4" or smaller) in the stock, probably from going in and out of the packed safe it was stored in. The wood is in excellent condition with sharp checkering and no scratches or rub marks. The remainder of the 26" barrel, receiver, and bottom metal are 99+% with no scratches or rub marks. This rifle has some Blue wear at the end of the barrel and the crown is in the white.
I couldn't find pictures of the crowns on any other rifles so I don't know if they were Blued. Metal is 99% but does show a small rub mark in the Blue on the top of the barrel about 4 inches back from the muzzle.
