Build and materials

This example of the Weatherby platform pairs a stainless barreled action with a synthetic stock. Stainless steel offers corrosion resistance and ease of maintenance in harsh environments, while a synthetic stock reduces weight and resists swelling from moisture. The listing notes some wear on the finish by the bolt and barrel—superficial in most cases—but explicitly states there are no signs of rust and that the bore is in excellent condition. Those are important details for long-term accuracy and safe operation.

Caliber and practical use

Chambered in .340 Weatherby Magnum, this rifle delivers substantial muzzle energy and a trajectory suitable for long-range engagement and large-game applications. The .340 Weatherby is known for strong terminal performance and high retained energy at extended ranges, making it a choice for users who need stopping power beyond typical hunting calibers. Expect pronounced recoil and plan for proper recoil management and optics that can keep up.

Optics and sighting

The installed stainless Simmons AETEC scope (2.8-10×44) is a practical mid-range optic. Its 2.8–10x magnification range provides quick target acquisition at low power with the ability to dial in for precision at higher magnification. Paired with the stainless action, the scope complements the rifle’s intended role as a precision bolt action ready for demanding conditions.

Condition, pricing, and value

At a listed price of $1,895.99, this WEATHERBY MARK V represents a balance of premium chambering and rugged construction. The noted finish wear should be considered in valuation, but the absence of rust and an excellent bore are strong indicators of mechanical health. The listing model is shown as Various, and the Weatherby brand is recognized for its accuracy-focused designs and long-standing reputation.
