School me on weatherbies

This is mine she was at work in progress for some 5 years while I took time to set her up the way I wanted. I know we went the tactical route but it just makes the deer more scared when she shows up to the woods. She did this at 487 yards with 185gr Berger juggernaut View attachment 147398 View attachment 147399 View attachment 147398

You could have saved 4 years, 11 months and 29 days...and bought the Weatherby Tac Mark....lol

I have a .300 using 210gr. Nosler accubonds long range for the States and a .375 for Africa with two scopes - a S&B 2.5 - 10 and a S&B 1.5 - 6 for dangerous game. They do mighty fine.

A guy I work with wants to sell me his lady friends 300 Weatherby MKV from the '88-'92 lineup cheaper than what I've seen online. Don't really need something like this but maybe a good one to have?I'm down in swco and usually shoot a .308.

Most people don't really "need" a Sports Car, or a Boat, or a 2nd Home, or a Weatherby. But the ones that do own any of these usually really enjoy them. I know I really "enjoy" my Weatherby.

NOT True... I shoot an Accumark in 30-378 and have always loaded for it, never bought a factory box of shells. You can get new brass to load with. What components are you talking about that are stupid expensive? I say GO FOR IT! I love my Weatherby's, AMERICAN classics they are!

It is somewhat true that Weatherby ammo needs " deep pockets". If you buy Weatherby Branded bullets off the shelf then yes you pay a ton more, but you can buy other brands of ammo for the common Weatherby calibers.. I.E. Federal makes 300 Weatherby shells that cost 1/2 the price... therefore not true and reloads will only cost 3-5 cents more than their counterparts due to the larger volume of powder... once again no deep pockets necessary....that's why we reload and can love our Weatherby's even more! As for American Classics.....well I'm Canadian! So I guess when I tell you Weatherby's were being made in Japan for some time...and Howa is still making barrels for all the Vanguard line... not that classical....but it
didn't stop me from buying 6 and loving everyone! The Mark V's definitely stand out in a crowd.
