Years a go I traded a M12 Winchester reproduction 20 ga that just wouldn't smooth up for a used Mk V Sporter in 270 Wthby Mag satin blue and stock finish. The rifle had a Beuhler (still does) one piece base on it seems like the rings are a looong way apart and the only scope I had that would work was an old Burris 6x. 130's and 140 just didn't shoot as well as I wanted, by chance I tried a max load of IMR 7828 and 150 gr Horn SP's they were a marriage from the start. Sometimes I wonder why I ever bother to hunt with anything else as when I carry it on the prairie I all ways come up with a great (for me ) whitetail buck. Seems popular for some to bad mouth the Weatherby look but it is simply the lightest recoiling Magnum rifle I've ever owned or shot. It's one of those lucky guns for me and I'll have it till I croak.
