[QUOTE="hawlejr, post: 2549930, member: 86290"] I figured it out myself. Never knew there was such a thing as a "Standard" Mark V. I figured they were all the same. Different from other Weatherby brands (like the Vanguard, for instance), but all Mark Vs were the same. NOT SO! The "standard" Mark V is a short action version ( I guess used with the .240 Weatherby Mag or maybe the .224 Weatherby), but its bolt has 6 lugs not 9! I post this here, because I bet there are other members who would have thought the "Standard Mark V" was the one that went with the usual Weatherby Magnum cartridges. The Mark V bases I need are for the Weatherby Mark V "Magnum" action, which has a lower back stanchion on the action bridge, and therefore requires a thicker base in the back. For Warne, this is the model number M902/879M. The one for the six lug rifles is M888/875M. [/QUOTE]
