Before I buy I am wondering if German and Japanese Weatherby MK5's are as accurate as current production MK5's. I'm particularly interested in a 300 WBY.

I am also wondering why older Weatherby's in 300 are considerably cheaper than current production guns. Does anyone know? I thought they would be collectable.

I have both a German 300 Wby and a newer Accurmark, both shoot very well.  The older ones that I have seen were hunted hard with, showing wear.  Mine was used as a paddle in Canada on time.  Back in the day Weatherby was the rifle to own, along with Winchesters, pre-64's.  Lucky to have both.

in my experience the Jap made weatherbys always shot better than the German ones.
