I was looking at buying a used Weatherby Mark V .270. It is in excellent shape and it has a Weatherby scopewith thegun. I estimate bothare about 20 years old.

How do I know which Mark V it is? How can you tell the difference between the Sporter or the Deluxe or the other ones? Value? What would you pay for the scope and gun and just the gun?

It has a Weatherby 3X9x40 scope with a wide field of view. Is that a good scope? Value? How does that compare with some of the newer optics out today in the $300 range?

I would be using it mainly for deer hunting but may use it for elk. Does it have a decent trajectory? Care to compare with the 7MM or 300WinMag?

Any thoughts appreciated. Thank you!
