A one-of-a-kind Weatherby Mark V, hand-engraved in combined recognition of Weatherby's 70th Anniversary, the introduction of the new Model Mark V and the introduction of the new 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum cartridge, will be featured in the SHOT Show 2017 auction.

The special SHOT Show Weatherby can be bid on at Gunbroker.com. Bidding is open now and will close at 5 p.m. EST on Jan. 20, 2017. The rifle features hand engraving by Heidi Roos of Baron Engraving. Heidi is also the engraver of other highly successful SHOT Show auction guns. The new Mark V itself features the first significant refinements to this classic rifle since its introduction in 1958, maximizing the rifle's fit, feel and performance.

The auction rifle is mounted with a Leupold Vari-X III 4.5 x 14.
