The Mark V, by and of itself is an excellent action. Many were made with very light pencil thin contour barrels and you cannot shoot them like heavier barreled rifles for accuracy. The stocks, if composite, are excellent, most were made for Weatherby by Bell and Carlson. The factory plastic stocks, while harder than say the Remington/Ruger "tupperware" are still junk. Caution on the barrel...Weatherby magnums are hot calibers and they are throat burners. I would never by a used Weatherby rifle without bore scoping it to see what kind of condition it is in. Unless of course you plan to re-barrel it anyway. Best of luck sir!!!!
