Low round count and might buy from the original owner. He purchased it new in 1968. Anyone have a good ballpark price for this rifle? Thanks

Both of these are scoped, but not high dollar glass. FWIW - I'd want to be in it at $1K.

To some that makes a difference. People sleep peaceably in their beds at night because rough men stand at the ready to do violence on their behalf.

They are head and shoulders above the Jap version. Other posters are correct on price. Hasbeen hasbeen (Better a has been than a never was!)

The quality of wood, fit, and finish on the Japanese rifles is superior to the German rifles (and this comes from a German guy). The triggers are certainly better on the Japanese rifles.

I have turned down more than that on mine, that is in 270 WBY mag. I sold one that was a Weatherby Mauser action for 2K. Although that I guess wasnt german??

One was a 1973 Japan 300 WBY Mark V Deluxe with the #2 Contour 26” barrel. Other was one of the last of the Japan Mark V Sporters 30/06 9 lug. Both were in excellent condition. I felt like it was a fair deal for both parties.

I much prefer the wood and metal work on the German . Last edited by Oldelkhunter; 11/02/21.

I think the prices being suggested are not going to get that rifle for you. Some of there prices quoted are by people that do not know what they go for. Like my Weatherby collector friend said it is all about the wood. If is a plain stocked gun 1300. Last edited by Oldelkhunter; 11/02/21.
