Ive had three Mark Vs. Still have two. They’ve all been good shooters but far and away my favourite is my West German manufactured .300 Wby. It’s a never sell item. Other was an Accumark also in .300 Wby and it shot really well but didn’t need the redundancy so it sold.
I’ve had three Vanguards as well. .204, .223 and .257 Wby. All were good shooters but the .257 takes the cake. Factory 115 gr BTs were so good I didn’t think that I should even bother handloading for it but true to form, economics of shooting a Weatherby dictate doing so. 115 gr Bergers are the pill of choice in there now.
I really do like the short bolt throw of the Mark Vs and I much prefer a wood stock on them. Just my preference. Dollar for dollar, the Vanguards have proven to be good value in my experience. Series one, you’ll definitely want to do the trigger.
