Our Assessment: The original Mark V rifle was introduced in 1957 by Weatherby and was designed to safely contain the high pressures associated with the Weatherby line of high performance cartridges. It is the flagship rifle of the Weatherby line of firearms. The Weatherby Mark V rifles were considered prestigious or luxury firearms by many. This is due in part to Roy Weatherby who presented the rifles to royalty, politicians, gun writers and actors including Prince Abdorreza Pahlavi of Iran, Generals James Doolittle and Chuck Yeager, Jack O’Connor, Warren Page, Elgin Gates and Lorne Greene and was able to use this fact as a marketing tool. This is a modern Mark V Accumark rifle, in about Fine-Plus condition. The rifle sports a 24” fluted barrel. It is apparent that this rifle has not seen much use in its lifetime. The bore is shiny with sharp, deep rifling and the trigger is light as a feather. Please see our photos and good luck!
