SOLD/EXPIRED 460 Weatherby MK 5

[chetc]

I am selling for a friend, 460 Weatherby Mark 5 with 3x9 Leupold, Sling and 10 boxes of ammo, like brand new $1500

 

[ccsykes]

is this rifle the deluxe and do you have pictures of it? Also, is the price negociable?

 

[Pahunter]

What would you use a .460 weatherby for?

 

[Pahunter]

Long range hunting for elephants maybe>?

Hey now, my 416 Wby works fine for LRH!

Shure would be nice to see some nice high BC bullets for these bigger boomers though...

 

[ccsykes]

As the lyman reloading book says, they are fun to shoot the first time around. I would have it just to add to my collection. If I ever went to Africa, I do not know about you, but I would want a cape buffalo blown backwards instead of charging me.

 

[Pahunter]

I'd rather take my chances with a .375 H&H instead of pounding the hell out of my shoulder

 

[Nighthawk]

Hey now, you can also use it for anti aircraft.

 

[ccsykes]

weatherby with their accu brake equate the kick to a 375 wby. so it would not be that bad.

 

[Nighthawk]

Yeah, but what a blast you will feel and hear with each shot. I guess its a trade off either way. Recoil to break your shoulder or going deaf with headaches. One of my Dad's friends has a .460 in the Dangerous Game Rifle. He is a guide in Alaska and uses it for bear. I havn't heard him complain yet. Though I havn't heard him at all either.

375's a BB gun!

I would recommend a brake for the recoil shy, or even those that think they aren't and have yet to handle the high speed big bores without one.

 

[Pahunter]

A BB gun! I wish i could show you the film of my grandfather dropping a charging bull elephant at 12 yards with a .375. talk about "bang-flop"

 

[Dave King]

Hey guys, please let the fella sell his rifle.

Thanks

Is rifle still available? Where was is made? Does it have muzzle brake?

Can you e-mail pics to [email protected]?

Thanks
