″++WEATHERBY MARK V .378 WEATHERB″

Roy Weatherby made his name by producing fine rifles, chambered in proprietary ultra-high velocity magnum cartridges, defying the logic of the time which demanded bigger bullets for more energy on target. We now know that both sides were right, in a sense. Bigger bullets retain velocity and energy better, but lighter bullets, for a given powder load, attain higher energy. In any case, this .378 Wby Mag will deliver velocities of 2,925 ft/s (892 m/s) and energies of 5,699 ft⋅lbf, using 300 gr (19 g) Round nose bullets. That's nearly 3000 fps and 3 tons, that's a lot of performance. This rifle is in excellent condition with no defects to report. The bolt face shows a faint setback circle, which may have been a proofing round. The rifle shows like new. It would be a suitable choice for almost any plains game, or American big game, that you would care to chase. It has a high grade walnut Monte Carlo stock with Rosewood tip and Grip caps,
