I just got the best trade I've ever made! I traded my Sig P938 for a Mark V in 270 WBY Mag. The pics of the gun showed it had a scope, but he wanted to keep it (which I was cool with). He calls me the day before we were to meet up, and said he couldn't get the scope off. Apparently his father in law lock tighted the screws. He said if I gave him $100 I could just have the scope. I said OK, as the scope looked like a Leupold from the pics (fingers crossed). I met him, and the rifle looked great, and the scope was a Leupold Vari-X iii 6.5-20X50. I am so excited, I have always wanted a Weatherby Mark V!!! He said the rifle was shot 5 times, and took 2 deer. It looks like it too! Just ordered 3 boxes of Weatherby ammo 130 gr SP. From the serial number, it was made in Japan. I can't wait to shoot it!!!!!
