Rifles / Re: Outstanding JP Sauer Weatherby Mark V 300 WBY for sale
« on: March 16, 2025, 02:02:50 PM »
That is why it was puzzling to me to say it was a 1959. I have a 1959, Made in W. Germany. Serial number 21,xxx and confirmed by Weatherby. I believe it started a little later than 1964, perhaps 1968?

What is the serial number?
Email Weatherby with the serial number and they will tell you all the info about this rifle.

Certain firearms did not require one until 1968. I have an old Savage Model 3, its a bolt action, single shot 22LR. No serial number.

Trigger is NOT a Mark V
Serial number requirements went into effect in 1968
Weatherby Started making rifles in Japan in 1970
Vanguard was 1972 forward.
If it is Weatherby, It should have a serial number
Even my 1959 Weatherby has a serial number

A simple email to weatherby will solve this.
I emailed them about 2 of mine and told me exactly what I had and when they were made. Very friendly and quick

« on: August 17, 2024, 08:00:07 PM »I don't have the slightest idea but you can call Weatherby at 1-307-765-7840 Monday morning and find out. The action may be threaded metric or in inches, same for the barrel. Nice finds by the way and welcome to the forum.
Dino is right. WBY keeps very good recods and will share their info. They had the info on my 1959 WBY MKV.
One other problem you will have is the bolt face. A 30.06 would not work for a 270WBY. It would for a 240WBY. But I am not a gunsmith.

« on: March 31, 2024, 10:17:36 AM »Before you start messing with it you should darn sure take note of where and how it's set before you do.I have opened a can of worms before only to find out that I wish I hadn't.My advice to you is,if the trigger is just not awful,don't mess with it.Buy a trigger shoe and it will lessen your perceived pull weight.
Good luck to you.
Great advice here. My German is first generation with the tang safety. I retired it now and I am keeping it all orginal with original WBY scope.

« on: March 31, 2024, 04:47:05 AM »How do I adjust the trigger pull on my German Mark V? The owners manual is too blurry to read. I don’t know which screw it is.
This is what I found long long ago, but I do not remember where anymore
"Trigger adjusting
On the German rifles, you'll need to remove the action from the stock. There are two small allen head screws on the trigger housing. The one on the rear adjusts the creep. Adjust it first, so there is at least 1/4 (preferably 1/2) turn before it trips. Then turn the allen screw on the front side counter-clockwise until you get to 3 pounds, or until it won't get any lighter (some guns won't go below about 4 pounds). Then go back the the creep screw and re-set the creep for 1/4 turn minimum."
