[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1040183"] I have many Mark Vs and more on the way. You can make the rifle any caliber you want. If you choose a chambering with a COAL longer than the 257 Weatherby you will need to do or have your smith do 3 things. Remove the spacer in the mag box. Replace the follower with a long mag follower. Extend the bolt stop groove, this requires a mill. There is no need to true it but if you are worried, have your smith check it. As suggested, you could send it to Pac-Nor. I have 3 Pac-Nor barrels and will get more. A #3 Weatherby profile will require a little fitting to your stock but not bad. With the bolt stop extended you will be able to have a COAL upto 3.86 with mag feed. Mud is correct, you can reuse your 257 brass for a couple different chamberings. For me Mark V builds are exciting because you can do almost anything. If you want a 7mm chambering: 7mm Remington Magnum 7mm Weatherby Magnum 7mm/300 Winchester Magnum 7mm/300 Weatherby Magnum 7mm STW 28 Nosler 7mm Remington Ultra Magnum OMG sooooo coooool. [/QUOTE]
