Weatherby Mark V Europa Bolt Action Rifle
serial #P23518, 7x64, 26'' barrel with a bright, excellent bore. The metal surfaces retain about 95-97% original blue with a few light handling marks and is flaking and toning to brown with scattered light specks of surface oxidation throughout. The deluxe grade checkered European-style Monte Carlo walnut stock rates near excellent with a few small dings and other light handling marks and some fading to some of the factory oil finish. The stock features a rosewood forend tip and gripcap and a factory ventilated recoil pad. The stock also features a more tapered forend tip and a small amount of drop at the butt that is more consistent with European rifles than the usual American Weatherby-style. Rifle is equipped with factory sights and has a set of Steinbach claw mount bases which hold a rare production Zeiss Diatal-D 2X16/4X32 riflescope. The scope features the German-style reticle with bright optics. The rifle features dual set triggers and the receiver is marked ''SAUER WEATHERBY EUROPA''. A narrow leather sporting sling is included which fits the 3/4" swivels. This rifle is part of the 1967 West German Sauer contract production and is a lovely example overall made for the European market and blends the best of both the European and Weatherby design.
