Great rifles i had a 340, once but the recoil was too much, the 460 would be too much for me, still have a 270 WM & a 240 WM both mk5s.

Can't see it due to my detached retinal from shooting my weatherby


Just kidding. My first real rifle was a MK V and I still love the rifle. As much as people joke about the Weatherby stock being too flash, I always loved it. It fits like a glove, is perfect on the bench and sticks, and is the best stock I ever used at managing recoil. Plus, that 60 deg bolt throw really does help with keeping optics mounted lower.

They are great rifles IMO, super strong, well made, and well designed for the big magnums.

I’m a Weatherby fanboy. I only have a 300 Wby, but someday I will add a 340, and a 375 wby. Enjoy your cannon!

Love me some Mark V’s…. As a lefty Weatherby is one of the few left that offer a wide variety for southpaws.

I’ve got the 257, 6.5-300, 300 and 416.
Have shot the entire lineup. The 460 is a beast. Believe it or not; the most intense to shoot is the 378. The most punishing recoil I’ve ever experienced from a sporting rifle.

Congrats!

Hold it tight. Push it towards you with your forearm. Just swing with the rifle. Dont try to fight it. You will be ok. I am light only 130lbs. More you weigh it gets harder to shoot. My 2cents. I dont plan on shooting anything over 375 why. The 378 will go in the near future. Have safe shooting.

Totally agree.
I stumbled upon one about 10 yrs ago, left hand 460, the price was right and I had to buy it. My son is about the same, 130 pounds and he shoots it better than any of us heavy weights. A willow as opposed to an oak. Congratulations on your purchase.

Contact an orthopedic surgeon in advance of shooting it.

I have a 460 as well, don't let any of the nay sayers bring you down. It is a great round and is extremely versatile. If you can locate one of the redding neck sizing dies they really save on your brass life. Reloader 16 is an excellent powder. You can load all the way from 458WM velocities up to the full on barn burners if you want. The 350gr speer bullets are great as well. Shoot me a PM if you need some load data.

It's a pretty good whitetail rifle too
