No. Components are not interchangeable between the Mark V® and the Vanguard®.

We can ship Weatherby’s® ammunition to your home without an FFL.  However, an adult signature will be required. (Age may vary per state)

There is Weatherby-authorized Accubrake™ installation centers located across the United States. You can have an Accubrake™ installed on your rifle at any one of these centers or in the Weatherby Custom Shop in Paso Robles, CA. The work done by these centers is the same as would be done by the factory and the warranty of the rifle would still be in place. A list of these authorized installation centers can be found on this web site or you can call Weatherby for a list.

If it is a fixed choke barrel, we do not recommend using steel shot.  However, if you have stainless steel removable factory choke tubes, we recommend using only modified or larger chokes.

No. We have not offered any service work on other products since 1994.

Near Manufacturing builds a full Picatinny rail for both Mark V® and Vanguard® rifles.

Screws for wood stocks have a torque specification of 35 inch pounds.  Please note, however, that you should tighten the rear screw first and then the front screw.

If yours is a Fibermark® or an Accumark® stock.The torque specifications is 55 inch pounds.
The correct assembly procedure is:

1. Tighten the rear trigger guard screw first to 30 inch pounds.
2. Align the Barrel to the center of the barrel channel in the fore stock.
3. Tighten the front trigger guard screw to 30 inch pounds.
4. Tighten the rear screw to 50-55 inch pounds.
5. Finally, tighten the front trigger guard screw to 50 -55 inch pounds. 

Applying this method, using a torque screwdriver of the proper size, will insure the proper fit between the receiver, and custom aluminum bedding block, as well as the proper positioning of the barrel in the barrel channel.

All Weatherby® (Mark V® and Vanguard®) rifles are guaranteed to shoot a 1- 1/2" (or better) 3-shot group at 100 yards from a cold barrel when used with Weatherby® factory ammunition. For Weatherby® rifles chambered in non-Weatherby® calibers, the guarantee is effective when premium loads are used. If for some reason your rifle does not shoot within the guarantee, Weatherby advises you to send the rifle to a Weatherby-authorized service center. After being tested by the service center, if indeed it does not shoot within the guarantee and the rifle has not been altered, the service center will repair the rifle under warranty, or forward it to the factory for inspection and replacement approval, if deemed necessary.

Weatherby guarantees that your rifle will shoot at a minimum one bullet type and grain weight within our accuracy guarantee.  We do not guarantee that every bullet type or grain weight for every caliber will shoot within our accuracy guarantee.

Select models (SUB-MOA) are guaranteed to shoot .99" or less at 100 yards when used with specified Weatherby factory or premium ammunition (3-shot group).

Weatherby does not offer reloading information. Weatherby once made reloading dies, but they have been discontinued. We suggest you obtain reloading information from the following:

* Newest editions contain loading data on the .30-378 Weatherby Magnum and .338-378 Weatherby Magnum cartridges.

Weatherby no longer manufactures rifle scopes, or other optic products, nor do we promote any particular brand. We do recommend, due to the amount of recoil sometimes experienced with the larger magnum rifles, that you choose a well-made, high quality scope.
