Nice looking rifle and very good deal even without all the extras!

Hmmm...

I hate to say, but unless I am drastically wrong (improbable in this case...), this is not a stainless steel rifle but a carbon steel rifle that is factory nickel electroplated.

To the best of my knowledge Japan-made "silver" Mark V with blue steel bottom metal were all nickel plated. Not until Mark V were made in the US, in Saco, Maine, did Weatherby introduce true stainless steel rifles. These are recognizable by the fact that their serial numbers start with SS; their action say "Made in USA"; they are typically dull grey rather that satin shinning; and their bottom metal is stainless steel too, although only the earlier two-piece bottoms were truly stainless steel and the later one-piece bottoms were "pot metal" cast.

By the way, Weatherby discontinued true stainless rifles a while back and reverted to carbon steel for their Weathermark, except that currently, instead of nickel plating the rifles, their cerakote them silver.

Do not read me wrong, it is a great rifle, but stainless steel it likely is not...

It's hard to tell but it does look a lot my 340.

Mine was made here in the US and is stamped as MADE IN USA. I did notice that the floor plate doesn't have the W on it like mine does. Also mine came with a thread protector that you can install after you remove the screw on brake.

But however you look at it $1200 is a great deal

Ok, I did a little more research. Based on the Serial number it is an Alaskan model manufactured in 1995. This model is nickel as @oneday pointed out. When I bought it, it was presented to me as stainless and since he was an old gunsmith I didn’t question him. I had no intent of misrepresenting this rifle so I apologize for any confusion. With all that said I think asking the price is still reasonable. Thanks for looking!

 

[JimP]

The price is more than reasonable, and if I didn't already have one I would be all over it.

You can see the barrel of mine sticking up over my left shoulder in my avatar.
