I would grab that in a heartbeat if it is in good condition. If you decide not to but this, PM me.

Get it! If you don't keep I know someone who will, me!
Big, $450 sounds too good to be true, see if they have a bore scope and scope the barrel. If it is in good shape all around, $450 is a steal. I found one locally on Backpage for $600, after scoping the barrel I bought it. Had the tupperware stock which I replaced with a bedded B&C Medalist. After a trigger job it is shooting far better than I expected. Good luck

That is a good platform for a custom build. If the barrel is shot-out or won't shoot, you still have a good action and stock to build off of for $450. The MK-V triggers seem to be hit-or-miss as to whether they're adjustable or junk. My Accumark's trigger was a *** that was sloppy and had more creep than any trigger I've ever shot before. It wouldn't adjust any better, so my smith recommended a swap. I ended up swapping the whole gun because it was a piece.
Apparantly mine was the one built on a Friday afternoon out of the junk parts bin... Because that whole gun was a turd. Glad it's gone.

Just get it. I'll buy it from you regardless.

I don't even want another MK-V, but for $450, hell, I'll buy it from you... LOL
A MK-V will make a hell of a custom rifle. If I had not been so hell-bent on trading my .257 Wby, I would have just rebarreled it. But I was so sick of that particular rifle, I was just ready to be rid of it. I even gave them back the original box and paperwork when I bought it new from that store back in 2008.

Look close and make sure its a MK5...some guys just see Weatherby and think its a MK5, so the gun store owner might actually be selling a Vanguard...
