If you wanted a light weight 257 WBY - which would you do:
- Buy a some weatherby Mark V - but which one?
Donor actions are usually more trouble than they’re worth. Starting with a custom action is your best bet. It will start you off with confidence of a great end result. You’ll have ultimate control of the parts of the build that really matter to you. And, you’ll enjoy expert input from the builder. If there happens to be any issues after the fact you are not left to pulling your hair out groping for solutions. My last custom build had two initially vexing issues that were easily addressed by the builder.
My choice would be the Wby Mark V UL as I already have one & it is very, very accurate for an out-of-the-box gun. There is nothing I would change about it. It is my best “stock” rifle. My other Wby UL Mk V was originally purchased as a Fibermark. I immediately sold the stock & had a custom 20 oz stock built.
