If I could only have one rifle to do everything with, it would likely be a 300wby mag but they're also pretty big thumpers and have a pretty good amount of recoil so having a good foundation to evenly support the action in the stock is always a very good idea and that little extra money it cost to have pillars put in when you have the stock bedded, will pay you dividends in the long run.
A 300Wby Mag is one of my all time favorites rounds. Having your factory stock that is currently on your Mark V, properly bedded by a professional gunsmith would be something they could do very easy as well as it would cost you less than a different stock and especially if you are looking to improve your rifles accuracy, no matter what stock you put on it, I would highly recommend you have it bedded at the least and if this is a rifle you care about keeping for a long time, I would have pillars put in when you have it bedded. Bedding an action is a little more involved and if you've never done it before, I probably wouldn't recommend you try it on something like this for your first time. Free floating a barrel is something anyone can check and fix, if required. To improve, consistent, accuracy in just about any rifle it's always a good idea to have the stock bedded and make sure the barrel isn't touching the stock anywhere along the barrel channel. Have you tried to slide a piece or paper or a dollar bill in between the barrel and stock, then slide it all the way down to the receiver to see if the paper hits any high spot/s and won't slide freely all the way to the receiver? Have you checked to see if it even needs to be free floated? Why don't you want to free float the factory wood stock that's on it? It doesn't damage the stock in any way and it only takes minimal sanding to free float the barrel channel. I'm not sure if there has ever even been a short action Weatherby Mark V made.
