[QUOTE="DNADave, post: 1820909, member: 110467"] Wow. I'm just batting a thousand today. My Mark V is indeed made in Japan and is silver colored. This is a recent acquisition and obviously I'm not the original owner. So, it's an Alaskan model? How does the nickel plate hold up to extreme weather? Most of my elk hunting is for Roosevelts on the Olympic peninsula, so in extreme wet weather. Some context to my original question. I knew the amount of freebore in a Weatherby was long, but just didn't expect this much. I'm reading all of these posts about seating depth and seeing values of 0.020 off the lands as a starting point. I'm reading this and thinking "There's no way I could ever get close to this close". Right now, I'm wondering if I really have enough of the bullet seated at 0.250 off the lands. [/QUOTE]
