Fair Market Value of Japanese Weatherby Mark V?

[efw]

I've got a line on one in 340 Bee that comes w/ a B&C Medalist in addition to a nicely-figured factory walnut stock. The stocks & bluing look pretty flawless.


Does anyone have an idea what a fair market value might be on this?

Thanks a lot all,

Depends on what model it was to begin with. If it was a Mark V Deluxe, it is most likely worth $1100 or so depending on condition and then add what you want for the B&C stock. If it has a brake or other features, it could bring more.

efw,

That is a nice rifle. The 340 Wby along with your 257 Wby will cover anything you would ever hunt, short of the Big 5.

I've seen used 340 Deluxes in good condition go for $750-900. Adding in the extra stock and Fotis is probably right on. I'd start around $850-900 and see where it goes. I'd stop at $1000-1100, unless you just have to have it at any cost.

Yeah its an amazing rifle... I DEFINATELY MUST HAVE ONE, but at this juncture I just can't justify it... REALLY need to save up for a Wyoming PH hunt this fall... household expenses keep coming along and eating up my hunting money, I don't need a rifle like this around to eat money I don't have!

Sigh...

Self control is NOT my strong suit, especially when it comes to rifles, but it does help knowing that the deal I'm passing up isn't anything spectacular...

I swear someday I'll get the Savage 110 action I have loaned to my boys as a .243 Win tweaked, a 27" shilen tube, and VIOLA! A non-Weatherby AND non-Remington 340 Bee!!

I wish they chambered the .340 in the Vangard...

thanks guys!!!!!!!!!!!
