I bought my first deer rifle in the mid 70’s - Weatherby Mark V in 257 Weatherby for $300. I was surprised that the ammo cost a whopping $1.00 per round. How times have changed. I still have the rifle.

I bought the Ruger 77, new in 1972. It is still in my opinion beautiful. I am a hunter and not a fan of gloss finish on my rifles as I have seen them chipped and scuffed. How do you fix that. It's like having a dent in your 1969 Dodge Charger. It breaks your heart every time you look at it. I have an oil finish on my Ruger and when required I just sand down the scratches and re oil. The rifle was reasonably priced and shoots straight enough. May not be the most beautiful compared to others but I still admire its looks. I feel the same way about my wife.

You're right on all counts. As for those chips in epoxy - clear nail polish a few coats thick and some buffing makes most of them vanish. Same for scuffs - gloss finishes are more forgiving than one expects. Your Ruger though is far easier to keep looking like new. Great rifle.

Walter worked for Mauser Oberndorf years ago and was a champion shooter. I have the 1965 model that has a fluted action slide with 458 and 338 Win Mag barrels. They are the best deal on the market for a highly reliable and accurate rifle.

Load it outside the gun, and then put a round in the chamber, then put the mag in, then hold the top round down, whilst closing the bolt. If one has four hands this all can be done in a few minutes.

Another interesting video Mike. Thank You! It made me reflect on my own path in collecting, toward what will never become expertise although that was never the goal. In watching your videos I've noted with interest the occasions when you shared your thoughts on your particular guidelines in evaluating value, and how it may differ from others, as is only natural. Your views on triggers, or whether the appearance of a well-used rifle is pristine, etc. seems to have a secondary status (at least on occasion) as compared to the mechanical design elements of the action, the source of the wood, the round, or the function of the individual rifle as a whole, for example. As collectors acquire knowledge of 'the objects of their affection' we develop our own tastes and begin to acquire a sense of our own sweet spot; where our chosen qualities and their cost develop into a hierarchy that helps us assign 'value'. By then usually, the objects in our collections have their own stories and even personalities, and we realize that we no longer 'own' our possessions but rather they own us, and we take our place in a long line of temporary Stewards. Your story about the Browning Bolt Rifle was resonant and poignant, and reminded me of a discipline among Japanese ceramic artists. Their specialized skill is called Kintsugi, and in it they honor the meaning and art of Mending. Cracks and broken shards are filled and rejoined with gold, and the repaired piece becomes even more prized than the original ~ not for the gold, but as testimony to the experiences of the broken Vessel, now made whole again. It is seen as more beautiful for having been broken. I think the person who repaired your Browning knew something about that philosophy, and I'm grateful that you presented the beauty of that work for us to see. All the Best, Lou

Great video as usual. I’ve owned several Weatherbys over the years, a .300, .378 and my newest one is a .30/.378 which will be my go to elk rifle. My Jim Borden built 1k yd BR rifle is in .300 Borden Caribou which is a slightly blown out .300 Wby. All of my Weatherbys are shooters though I no longer have the .300 or the .378. I do still have my Borden BR and the .30/.378. My middle son has the 6.5/.300 on I believe he’s taken a couple of elk with it. My old Weatherbys were made in West Germany, my newest one was made in California but now I want to get one made in Wyoming. I was especially interested in your Merkel, I have known about them but haven’t investigated them yet, but I will now. Thanks for your videos, I always learn from them. All the best.

I always thought the old model Weatherby rifles with the white Diamond inletting in the stocks were the most beautiful rifles that i ever saw when i was growing up

I won a Kleinguenther K-15 in a raffle years ago. Butter smooth Voere action, 1/2 m.o.a. guaranteed, beautiful wood. It would qualify right up there with the Weatherbys. Unfortunately it was in a magnum caliber I didn't enjoy shooting and it was a closet queen until I sold it. Had it been in 30-06 or 270 or something similar I'd still have it. Good show though!

That Japanese one made my smile. Beautiful thing to watch, not sure if I would take it out of the display cabinet if I owned it! Brilliant video mate.

Set triggers on the Mauser, wonderful.

I have over the years, had several weatherby rifles, mark 5 in 300 weathery magnum and my other rifle in mark 5 was 340 cailber. My friend had a 378 for bragging rights but never shot it much till it had a break installed. I still have 2 Weatherby shot guns , Athena 28 ga and a orion field lll and they have good looking wood. I had a winchester super grade in 375 H&H, it was a used gun but the gun smith said that the bore was pristine.

agree with everything! been in love with Weatherby's since they were first introduced! Roy talked about "hydrostatic shock" in his book. the super gun of their day in my opinion.

Man oh man...You handle some unique stuff. One of my dreams was and is to travel to some of these European countries and visit these firearm manufacturers.

Yea, I got screwed when we were living in Germany. I bought a Cz model 1 from England. I had a photograph of the firearm from about 15 feet and the owner stating the firearm was in mint condition.

Because of these factors I really like stainless steel barrels and actions and synthetic stocks. My rifles may not be HIGH-END but the proof is in the way they function. I had a friend who wouldn't own anything that did cost $5000 or above. When we would go to the range he called my gun a "nice club"......until he saw the groups it would shoot.

Fine wood and polished bluing are a plus!

I like the guns you show . I never see guns like this anywhere .

Love how informative your videos are. I just picked up a Husqvarna Hi Standard 30-06. What do you think of those rifles?

Great topic / video ...Thanks

Thanks for sharing you beautiful rifles.

Just the other day I acquired a 62-69 L461 Vixen in 223 with a pre 74 Leupold scope. Never fired. Your videos are the best references. Thank you!

Hi Robbie - Incredibly scarce to find a rifle in such high condition - bravo to you! I'm glad my videos are helpful! Best of the New Year to you!

No idea what that would cost, but Steyr has "custom" options for their hunting rifles. Engraving, different surface finishes, different sorts of woods. Looks very high end. (maybe also costs high end)

Oldest arms company in Europe. Had a m-9 & m9a1 9mm handgun. The grip angle and low bore axis made it one of the best shooting 9mm ever owned. Styer lost their import license or had restrictions due to sales to Iran back in the middle east wars...don't fine their products offered too often...great stuff though!

Probably personal preference. A mixture of functionality and well done materials. W. W. Greener is world renowned for top quality. Shotguns of course. Rifles I must ponder for a while.

Guns go bang ? Missed that one. Keep up the good video. I think if people are smart enough to watch your channel they know they can learn from you.

I have never owned a Weatherby until recently I purchased a MKXII with the tubular feed. Very handsome rifle with an unusual single round selector on it. Took me a few minutes to figure that one out due to it not having any documentation with it.

Hi Philip - You bought one of the best - I had one and unfortunately sold it. From memory it was made in Italy and functioned perfectly and was made as fine as a watch.

You have a wealth of knowledge. We can’t be experts at everything and my profession is not rifles so I’ll never know a 100th as much as you but I love your videos and hope your doing well

Hi Andy - Golden words - yours - thank you 🙏

I really like the lines of the Ruger no1. Dakota Arms were some of the nicest overall rifles. Freedom Arms makes some beautiful revolvers.

I like your choice when it comes to the Weatherby. I still have no love for the Ruger one esthetically. I would still prefer an 1885 High wall Winchester in 30-06 Hunter if I had to choose a falling block.!

Shiloh Sharps Long Range Express is a work of art and a piece of history. Unfortunately it is on my wish list.

thanks for your videos. I really enjoy them and cherish the non-tactical aspect of them it's very refreshing. Could you tell me why do you think we don't see as many rifles with set triggers. I think they are wonderful and a safe way to attain very lite triggers. Thanks again for your videos.

I have heard that hunters don’t generally prefer set triggers because of the chance of the trigger being accidentally set and then the gun being discharged in packing through bush

My choices are: Ruger M77RS in 7mm Remington Mag, or .338 Winchester Mag. Both rifles made in the 1970s with beautiful walnut stocks and high gloss bluing.
