I've always wanted a Mark V as I had 2 different Vanguard Synthetic models for about 10 years and paid 300 for them brand new at Walmart. I'm ready for an upgrade as I am going to treat myself for graduating in December from college. I've heard great things about these rifles. My Vanguard is in 257 Weatherby and when I purchase my new rifle it will be the same. So what is the fair price range? At Gander Mountain they are 1799 with 10% with their new years promotion sale,which everything in the store is 10%. So it will basically be 1700.
