Weatherby Mark V Classic .270 Weatherby Magnum

[kaelix09]

I have a Mark V Classic made in 1993.
This seems to be an obscure model since I have only found two websites showing a prior sale.
The gun has a beautiful oil rubbed satin stock finish. I have not been able to find any website that can assist in valuating the gun. Does anyone know of a site that may have that info? I tried the Blue Book of Gun Values but could not find a "Classic" model. Any help on what the rifle is valued at would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I have one in 257 Bee . Great rifles and I like the straight comb stock. I paid $1000.00 for mine 7 years ago .

Ha! You had me pulling out my receipt. I bought mine from a guy in southwest Virginia 9 years ago for $875. The recoil of the 300 Wby.  was too much for him. He had less than a box through it.  Yea, I got it cheap for a Mark V of any kind. I paid a bit more for my 1958  32nd ever made Mark V.

That’s a fine rifle 👍🏻

No, it's the very first year of the Mark V, 1958.  It's the 32nd one ever made. Somebody had it rechambered to 270Wby from a 300 WBY with a German made barrel. The work was done by Weatherby . They kept no records of shop work in those days. It's a 1 in 12 twist ,limiting it to lighter bullets.110 TSX and 130gr. A-Frame work pretty well.

You can't rechamber a 300 Weatherby to 270 weatherby the 270 is a smaller diameter it had to be rebarreled something isn't right

I bought a classic NIB 240 WBY a couple of years ago for 1200 bucks out the door. Nice rifle, still haven't shot it. It's a 9 lug 240 too.
