Weatherby rifle identification

[hevishot]

Good day all. I was wondering if anyone here can identify this Weatherby Mark V rifle? The stock looks like a Mark V deluxe but with a satin finish. The bolt is spiral fluted and the barrel has a muzzle brake. It is chambered in 300 win mag. I can't seem to find any rifle on Weatherbys website that matches this. Any info with be appreciated. Thanks.
I am trying to reply to your answers but I keep getting an error message. A dealer has 2 of them. Yes they are 300 win mags. New with tags. I am sure they are original from Weatherby and not altered in any way. I don't have them in front of me so I cant say where they were manufactured. I do believe they are recent manufacture. I bought both of them for $899.00 each. Hope I did ok.

was the rifle stamped USA made in palo alto california?

Is this your rifle or are you inquiring about one someone has listed for sale? The bolt/action would appear it was a limited run or custom at somepoint - the oil finished stocks with matte finished metal I can't recall what they called them the japan models were euromarks which i have a love for and several of. The sporters did not have (unless i'm mistaken) the rose forend stocks.

300 "win" mag is interesting as well are we sure about that? it is stamped "win" mag?

I'm guessing this is either a rifle from the Custom Shop or one that had the stock switched. I don't remember seeing the Mark V Sporter with that finish.

X2 on the stock not being original to the barreled action.

I bought my WeatherMark Bronze from Weatherby in may of 2021, it has a ser# WYO17XXX. I think that would place yours at about a year earlier.

That has got to be what this is. I will let you all know what Weatherby has to say. Thanks

That's not a sporter stock though.It's deluxe that more than likely has been refinned to an oil finish

Looks like a Wyoming sporter to me. The California ones didn't have the rosewood on the stock.

ya i remembered (took a while) seeing them and they offered in some different calibers as well. Cool concept,

Yes Weatherby confirmed that is what it is.

[224KING]

I don't know the Wyo offerings good enough.

Why call it a Sporter if it comes with a Deluxe stock?
