What were the chance's

[thumper1]

Long story short I bought the rifle of my DREAMS boys!!! and I thought i'd share it with you its a BNIB unfired 1979 Weatherby MK V in 300 weatherby cant wait to get it out to the range here's some eye candy to hold you over till I decide what scope to put on it and I get some real pics of it in the mean time what kinda glass do you think it should wear i'm thinking zeiss.

I'm not usually much of a Weatherby fan but that's pretty nice.

Joke's on you though...seller didn't include the bolt. Sucker!

Maybe the bolt comes after the check clears. Hope it does, 'cause that's a beauty!

My .300 Weatherbys both have 4.5-14 VX3s with B&Cs. One is a LR, one isn't.

LOL it'll make a nice conversation peice though

Nice burl & birdseye on that stock. Wish the new ones came with wood like that.

No bolt aye??????????
Hmmmm.
Like buying an outboard motor with no tank.

Id go with zeiss or a VX3. Nice gun man, I really want a weatherby in .300 wby mag

 

[tutteal]

Good job. That's one good looking rifle.Hope it serves you well.

 

[saskcop]

Congrats on the rifle. That one is a beauty.

Nice looking rifle. Interesting that you stumbled across a BNIB gun from the '70's too... is there a story behind that?

Very very nice. That rifle deserves some quality glass... pick up a earlier Ziess Conquest before the old stock dries up.

The wood looks like Birds Eye Maple, but I'm no expert on wood. Just stunning.

Sharp looking rifle, with a real nice piece of lumber on it. Quite a find coming up with a 1979 brand new Weatherby. I wish you well and hope you enjoy it.

 

[blasted_saber]

Look at the shine on that beauty

Wow

 

[hometownhero]

Nope you didn't pay to much it didn't even come with a bolt. Thats gonna up the cost a bit for a new one Nice looking lumber on it should be a dandy

I'm not to sure Silverado I bought it off of a guy who picked it up at an estate sale and the reason he sold it is because he's a lefty and didn't want give it to his son for a first hunting rifle so I picked it up at a decent price I think.

There you have it , but you might add Leupold Canadian CDS Scope Custom Turret and you are good to go.
Shooting 180 grn(insert fav bullet here) into the vitals all day long.
What more could a boy ask for...err I mean a MAN ask for.
Nice Rifle too.

Nice gun, beautiful piece of lumber. A rifle like that is as much about appearance as it is about performance, so I think that it needs a gloss finish Leupold in 3.5-10x or 4.5-14x in gloss rings. A matte finish scope on this gun would be atrocious.

Not a huge fan of wood, but this is the second thread I've come across today that is making me think otherwise.

Then again I did just have my birthday a few days ago, probably just getting wiser and realizing how good wood can look on a gun.
