Hello all! I am new here.
I recently purchased my first weatherby. A beautiful American Mark V Lazermark in 257 Wby Mag.
I've dreamed of owning a Weatherby since i was about knee-high so i was thrilled to finally afford one.
Anyway, I purchased a preowned Nightforce NXS 5.5x22x50 for a great deal to mount on this rifle. I was then shocked by the small selection of mounts available for Mark V's. I was recommend to NEAR mfg mounts and they look fantastic but MAN are they proud of them.
So, for those who have used the NEAR's... are they really worth it? I dont mind paying if its really the best. So far my only other idea are the talley lightweights for an 1/8th of the price.
This rifle will never see use past 500 yards, since i live in the midwest. However id like to achieve as much precision as i can at those ranges.
Any help is appreciated and i look forward to learning more from this forum, thanks!
