Weatherby Mark V. The first I ever saw was at a deer club just north of Vicksburg in 7 MM Wby when I was 14. I actually handled my first one in '68 when I was 18 at a Gayfer's in the Biloxi/Gulfport Ms. area. The salesman was very patient and if I remember correctly, it was a 300 Weatherby and was either $295 or $300.

About 12 or 13 years later, I bought two through the rod and gun club when I was stationed in Atsugi, Japan for $450 each...a .240 Wby and a 7 MM Wby Mag. Still have both.
