On Weatherby's website, I noticed the Mark V Safari is listed under "Legacy Rifle Models", so I emailed them and asked if it has been discontinued and here is their reply:

Good afternoon,

Thank you for contacting Weatherby! Unfortunately, that model is discontinued for the time being. We do not have an ETA for when we may bring it back.  We are working on sourcing a new stock vendor that would match the quality of our safari rifle stock.


My question is, if Weatherby is truly just working on sourcing a new stock vendor, why would they move the Safari to the Legacy/Previous Rifles category?  Do you think the Safari will ever come back or will it simply pass into history?

Satin oil-finished, French walnut modified Monte Carlo stock with Fleur-de-lis checkering. Ebony forend and pistol grip cap. Damascened bolt and follower with checkered bolt knob and hand-honed action. Adjustable ramp, gold-filled “V” and a hooded barrel band front sight. Engraved floorplate with “Safari Custom.”
Great rifle but sell low used. Mine are accurate and well made. Nice iron sights.
