Again sorry I can't post pics but maybe I'll figure out another site shortly.
I drooled over this rifle when it was introduced in the '80s and one came up on the EE this spring so I bought it. It is in the same class as my Sako Safari, it's a Weatherby Mark V Safari Classic in 375 H&H. I has a perfectly straight stock with end to end fiddleback, round short forend tipped with ebony with classic point checkering and an oil finish, quarter rib and banded front swivel. The only oversight in my opinion is it does not have a banded front sight. It has an engraved floor plate made of steel with Safari Classic engraved in a ribbon wound through other kinda floral engraving on the plate. This is one classy rifle and a huge departure from the "Weatherby" SoCal styling, it is 100% pure straight stocked classic down to the ebony grip cap and fore end tip, shadow line cheek piece, solid recoil pad and satin metal finish. I mounted a 3-9X40 Leupold on it for a shake down and load development.
If y'all want to see photos of it just google "Weatherby Mark V Safari Classic"........I'll get back after I do some range time with it but for now it is absolutely gorgeous.
