Congratulations on your recent acquisition. I think you will find getting to know this piece as much fun as any activity. What exactly did you get ? I have seen a few shot guns Weatherby has out and will probably be picking one up soon. Of my Weatherby Rifles I have more of the MK V German, Jap, US. and a few from Weatherbys early days (Pre 1958). Most of them are stocked and scoped exactly the same. Just the recoil is different for when or what ever I hunt. Any way enjoy and keep us posted...
