Weatherby mark x?

rem600 · 08-06-2005, 10:04 AM

I was at a store and saw a used Weatherby Mark X .243. Wood stock.

I admit I don't know a lot about guns but I have never seen a Mark X. I am familiar with Mark V, Vanguards, ultralights etc.

Anyone know about this gun?

Me as well.I believe that it was a mauser action.

I think what you saw was a Mark X mauser action in a 243 Cal. And you were thing of a Mark V Wby. Did it say Wby? They never made the Wby Mark V in only one standard cal., and that was a 30-06 yrs ago.

and don't forget.....two Mark V do not equal one mark X

I guess I will have to go back and take a second look. The gun did have a mauser scope on it. I read the barrell and I could have sworn it said weatherby but I guess I'll take glasses this time.

The .243 and X did confuse me when I was looking at it. That's why I asked about it.

Really?

yup

I took a closer look. The barrel is a .243 Mark X. The end plate has interarms on it. Don't know why it was marked as a Weatherby.

It looksin pretty good shape, with a mauser 3x9 scope for $230. Seems like a decent price.

Opinions?
