Currently they are USA made. Older ones were Japan (Howa) and older yet are German.

In my opinion the best Weatherby is the Vanguard, better rifle, generally more accurate, all for less than half the cost of the clunky Mark V.

Had many vanguards from 243 to 257, 7mm rem mag and 300 win. S1’s, dbm’s, original sub moa ‘s and s2. Realy like the sub moa 243 and 30-06 was a good one also. Have one mkv deluxe in 270wby and find it an awesome caliber. In the market for an other one but wonder if japan or gemany is best.

Any of the Mark Vs, no matter where they are made are generally excellent guns. They have nice wood, great finish on metal and wood and deep bluing. It is still the strongest action made commercially, and for use with Weatherby cartridges there is no better match. The ones currently being made in the USA are all guaranteed to shoot sub MOA. Most of the other MKVs I have had would shoot sub MOA with factory ammo and all would with hand loads.

The Vanguards are a nice rifle but there are very good reasons they sell for half what a MRKV does.
