Default RE: 7mm rem. mag

no find an old weatherby mine is made by weatherby not sako i have a tikka made by sako
SACO not Sako.SACO and ATEK are both US contractors that built Mark Vs.


But I doubt that your rifle was manufactured by Weatherby.Weatherby did actually build some rifles of their own,but that was prior to the Mark V.The Mark V has been built buy contractors,just like the Vanguard.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weatherby

From that link

The original rifles by Roy Weatherby were originally built on FN Mauser actions, or other actions deemed strong enough, though it was primarily the FN. The first Weatherby Mark V rifles were manufactured in West Germany. Material and labour costs eventually led production to Japan, where some say the machining was actually better. In 1995 Manufacturing was moved back to the United States, where they have been manufactured under contract by both Saco Defense and Acrometal/ATEK.
