List of calibers
[edit]I changed the list of available calibers. According to their web page they offer .300 Win Mag and .270 Winchester, not the short magnum calibers. (Mark V) Senatorpjt (talk) 22:17, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
written as an advertisement?
[edit]I read, and re-read the article and tried to see how it is "written as an advertisement" and I don't see it. There is nothing non-factual or known among the gun crowd within the article. If anything it is a bit sparse and missing some citations but any self respecting big game hunter or redneck knows the content with in that article is factual.

other firearms articles
[edit]There are many other firearms articles on Wikipedia that appear to be copy and paste jobs from factory websites; the CZ 97B article is an example of such (see the CZ-USA website.) But the tone of this article does have a faint scent of advertising copy. This is not my main area of interest, nor is this such a heavy dose of the Weatherby literature that it merits my — nor, I should think, anybody else's — time rewriting it (I have accordingly removed the offending tag from the article.) — Robert Greer (talk) 18:33, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
Mark V Article
[edit]The Weatherby Mark V has been on the requested pages for WP:GUNS for some time now. We should try to digest a lot of the information in the Weatherby#History section and parse it into a a new Mark V page. I'll draft a basic page to start, but I am not very familiar with this particular firearm, so I wouldn't feel comfortable writing much. -Deathsythe (talk) 18:25, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

In popular culture
[edit]It's mentioned in an episode of Columbo called "Troubled Waters". It's the murder weapon. I'm surprised it is left out in this article. 151.203.70.159 (talk) 02:48, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
