Weatherby Mark V 9 Lug

[KCScott]

I have a left hand, German made .257 Weatherby Magnum that is in beautiful condition other than it needs rebarreled. Weatherby told me the original barrel was a #1 contour, which they don't offer anymore.

My next thought was to rebarrel it with a modified # 2 barrel with a faster twist for the new higher BC bullets, and put it in a truly purpose built hunting rifle chassis with a folding butt stock.

Unfortunately after hours & hours of looking I can't find anyone that makes a hunting rifle chassis milled for a Mark V 9 lug action, much less this in a left hand.

After recently seeing Jim Harmer w/BackFire's new ambidextrous hunting BackLight chassis I thought that I had found my Unicorn, but after contacting them I was told they have no plans to support the Weatherby Mark V 9 lug action, so I'm back to ground zero.

Does anyone know of a Mfg that makes a hunting rifle chassis for a left hand Mark V 9 lug action?

Not a chassis stock, but Bell and Carlson makes several stocks for left hand MarkV 9 lug actions. Full length aluminum bedding blocks.
Decent stocks in an assortment of colors/patterns that won’t break the bank.
I have a couple and like them.
