Absolutely. I have three USA Weatherbys, the latest a 340 Lazermark (four shots 210 TTSXs):

When I lived in Japan, I had a 20mm gattling gun and nobody said anything about it. Tail number 325.

Who makes MkV's these days now that Saco Defense is out of the business?

I have 3 Saco's all are wonderful ... my 300WBY isn't wild about factory 180 SP's but does wonderfully with other loads.

I have had several Weatherbys over the years from Southgate built Mausers. to German, and Japan , but no later USA builds. They all shot well except for one .257 that I just never found the sweet combination. Not all that bad, just not as expected.
