[QUOTE="std7mag, post: 2750145, member: 125590"] When i was younger, Weatherby's were something to hope to aspire to. Way out of my price range! I had bought my daughter a first gen Vangard in 243 Win. Had major accuracy issues with it! But was within their "3 shots within 1 MOA at 100 yard" guarantee. Problem was any following shots. Groups literally opened up exponentially. Daughter traded it on a bow. Only gun i was happy to get rid of!!! Last year i had saved up enough that i wanted a Mark V. Kept looking at their new Hunter. But the more i handled them, the more i disliked the stock. The LGS had a Mark V Ultra Lightweight in 6.5-300. Loved the looks & feel. Didn't want a 6.5mm. Of course the Ultra Lightweight was discontinued. Ended up with a Weathermark LT in 7mm WBY Mag. Then.... Ran accross someone selling their Ultra Lightweight in 257 WBY Mag. Bought it. Awaiting shipment. Then 3 seeks ago, i run accross a German made Mark V in "Weatherby 300 Magnum". With engraved scrolling on the receiver for a price i couldn't pass up! Wife approved money out of the joint account. I brought it home, handed to her & told her to put it in the safe. So i went from no Weatherby's to 3 Mark V's in about 8 months. [/QUOTE]
