The Weatherby Mark V: An All-American Classic Rifle - Remembering the Past

Another fun video diving into the history of an iconic American rifle - the Weatherby Mark V! Andrew from BTO Range breaks down the story behind this classic, from the obsession with velocity that drove its creation to all the different manufacturers who built it over the decades. He'll share tips on what to look for if you're buying a used Mark V, how to identify different models, and why this rifle was the uber-deluxe status symbol for American hunters back in its prime. It's a cool look at an old-school rifle with a really unique backstory. Don't forget to hit that like and subscribe button! We put out new videos every week!

    You did a pretty good job on the history of the Mark-V. I was lead Service gunsmith in both Atascadero, Ca. and Paso Robles, Ca. up until when Roy Jr. moved the company to Sheridan Wyoming and Adam his son took over from his father. They do a weekly Pod cast on the company and new models up coming. The Weatherby case design employs the "Hemispherical shoulder belted case.

    Hello BTO folks, can you please do a video on Weatherby Vanguard history? I have seen an older one with a beautiful walnut stock and high luster blued finish with iron sights chambered in 30-06.

    Right. About a year ago I bought a Weathermark 340 Wby. Weatherby, Sheridan, told me that they cannot but a brake on a 340, No. 2 contour barrel. They can do it on the No. 3 contour barrels, though. All Accumarks, regardless of caliber, have a No. 3 contour barrel and they all have muzzle brakes. And now, the Weathermark line has been discontinued. I also have a 300 Wby Mark V, Weathermark, No. 2 contour barrel that does have an Accubrake. And I have a 416 Wby, Mark V Deluxe, No. 3 contour barrel. And, thankfully, they only come with brakes!

    Maybe 5 years ago a local Cabelas had a Mark V in .338 Win and I will kick myself for the rest of my life for not buying it.
