300 WEATHERBY MAG
First run made in West Germany. The legendary Weatherby 300 Mag. Coco Bolo forend LOW five digit ser # with beautiful Walnut furniture.
I got this in two peices. The guy who had it let his son put a Polyeuratane finish over the oil finish wich then turned black and cloudy. He was going to throw the stock away and get a poly or composite stock,and sell it. I said I'd take it WITH the old wood stock. I still can't believe he was going to throw this stock away.(Makes me a little woozy)
It looked like crap until I carefuly sanded the poly off reaveling the "fiddle back" pattern.I showed it to my buddy and his mouth dropped open.
My gun guy did a little checking on it and said it's worth between $3,000.00 and $30,000.00. The Coco bolo tip makes the gun worth $500 more than one that doesn't have it.
The bluing is 99.9% with only a little scorch mark around the muzzle.It is the most highly polished metal finish I ever saw.
I had a cheap scope on it and it shot a 1" group at 240 yards before it blew the scope out.
