Just for grin and giggles, place your Mark V bolt next to a Remington 700 bolt and post a photo!

I had an early 90's Mark V Hunter (matt finish wood and metal, no spacers or inlays) in 375 H&H. I had a 2x7 Leupold compact on it. Factory target was about 5/8" for 3 Rem 270gr spire points. With 300 grain Spitzer BT's it would 1" at a 100, OFFHAND! Sorry I ever sold it, but it was part of a 43 gun purge that funds my semi retired lifestyle.

Roy Weatherby wasn't the only man to develop overbore cartridges that there was little or no need for! He wasn't even close to being the first! But what Roy put in every one of those Deluxe Mark V's was CLASS! QUALITY! and PRIDE! I still have 2 Weatherby rifles in the Deluxe style and they turn heads every time they come out to play, with good ammo and good glass, they generally outshoot most people at the range.
