HEAD0001

I have owned and shot
2-257 Wby Mag rifles
1-7mm Wby Mag rifle
1-340 Wby Mag rifle
1-300 Wby Mag rifle

I did not care for the 257's. They were flat shooting, but I did not care for the cartridge's ability on deer. I had several deer make some longer runs after a shot, with little blood trail. The other WBY cartridge's were awesome performers on deer and elk.

I do not know whether Roy was a genius or not. I know a lot of the mfrs. are mimicking his cartridges as far as performance are concerned. But they are 20 to 30 years behind him.

A fellow above mentioned USA made Mark V's. Most of the Mark V's were not made in USA. His may have been-I do not know, but most were not. Roy made beautiful, classy, high performing rifles, and he made them 20 to 30 years before any one else.

I also have a Mark V in 30-06 that I bought in 1978 for $300. I would not take a thousand for it now. They hold their value very well. Tom.
