[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 582263, member: 505"] I think the best deal I have ever got. The rest of the story. In the same purchase for $1125 I got the 257 wby mk5 with 2-10 Nikon Monarch scope and brake and a Browning A-bolt gold medallion series in 300 RUM with a Cabelas 3-12x56 scope. Both were as new and included the original box they came in. I could not tell they had been fired. I saw them on the used rack and found a young late teens looking girl who worked there and she rang them up without question. I know somebody messed up on the price. I then traded the Browning for a mk5 deluxe 378 wby mag like new with beautiful wood that came with loading dies, five boxes of new ammo and four boxes of once fired brass. I kept both scopes and put them on other rifles. So for the original $1125 I ended up with two mk 5 wby's, two scopes, loading dies and about $900 worth of ammo. Both the MK 5's are incredibly accurate with the 257 wby now our go to rifle for deer and antelope because of the amazing accuracy. It has always shot 1"-1 1/2" groups at 400 yards making easy kills to 700 or so yards because of the super flat trajectory. The 378 wby has turned out to be a super 1000 yard rifle with the 350 SMK. I have shot some really nice groups to 1200 yards with it. For long range elk the 378 wby with high bc bullets is about as good as it gets. [/QUOTE]
