Winchester Model 70 Featherweight in 30-06. I think that's a Fajen stock. I saw it at the local shop a couple years back--looked pretty ugly; patches of rust everywhere and a very poorly done varnish job. Traded a field grade M1 for it. The rust turned out to be just varnish; big handprints of it everywhere. Refinished the stock, threw out the tasco that was on it and put on a Redfield 4x bearcub. http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm160/30CalTy/TyBestDeer2011.jpg View Quote Yeah that's super nice. |

My early 60's Mark V .300 Weatherby Magnum with original period correct Weaver V12 4-12x50mm steel tube scope. Light, elegant, flat shooting. Great down range retained energy. Recoil, especially with heavier 180+ grain bullets is . . .brisk, but manageable. A firm grip on the forestock is needed to keep it from jumping out of your hand. It will shoot one MOA three shot groups, then the groups open up due to heat in the pencil barrel, despite being freefloated. In a hunting rifle that does not matter. First shot from a cold barrel is very consistent. This early Mark V action and barrel were made by J P Sauer in West Germany, the company presently called Sig-Sauer, as subcontractor to Weatherby. Weatherby was the first US company to offer hammer forged barrels in America on the Mark V. View Quote The Weatherby Mark V surely has a certain allure to it! I'd love to have one in one of the better balanced Wby mag cartridges. I think the .300 is one of them. Have you taken any game with it? |

Sadly, in Mississippi, we don't have enough open country shooting to really take advantage of its long range capabilities. I did take a nice 8 point at about 225 yards with it a few years ago, but the light 150 grain bullet I was using did too much damage. Dropped in its tracks, though. I mostly shoot non-magnum rifles for whitetail. I plan to take it out West next year for elk along with my Mountain Rifle. I'm working up a heavier Barnes TSX load for that. |

That thing is gorgeous. Looks like he had some work done to it also. Possibly? I'm assuming that flat spot on the barrel is where the open sights were. And then it looks like in that second pic it was tapped for a forward scope mount. Since scopes were probably long back then......

No idea what type of scope it was, as it has been off the rifle for awhile. The Hawkins recoil pad was added, as well, the Model 54s came standard with a buttplate. The Lyman 48 rear sight was optional with these (they were factory-drilled for it) and I suspect it has always been on the rifle. |
