Does anyone have plans for the purchase of a new Weatherby for the coming year?
-
define new - like brand new or new to you? :)
I never plan on it, but i'm a sucker for a deal! LOL
-
No "plans" for me, but I never do plan for rifles. :)
-
always looking for one that catches my eye.
-
Thinking about getting a Mark V in 243 plus we will probably be up in the Sheridan area around the end of May so no telling what might happen.
-
Having just bought a Backcountry 2.0 Ti 6.5-300 and a Weathermark 338-378 burnt bronze, no plans for any others
But
I hadn’t planned to buy either of those two
Happy New Year everyone
-
A good friend wants to go to Sheridan and buy a rifle at the Weatherby facility. If we go there then there could very well be a new Weatherby rifle riding home with me.
-
No plans for a rifle, but I ended up shooting on 2 trap teams last year. So a dedicated trap shotgun may get purchased at Reeds Gun Fair in April?!
-
Well, not a Weatherby but a new rifle I did buy. Purchased a Winchester Mod 70, Classic Super Express in 416 Rem Mag. I shot a 416 Rigby in Africa, and told myself that I wanted one. Couldn't find a 416 Rigby, so I got the next best thing, a 416 Rem Mag. Moving up into the big bores. :)
-
I'm not sure. I hate to buy anything this time of year because I like to see what new things might be released at the SHOT Show.
I would like to find a used Weatherby Mark V Classicmark in a .300 Weatherby, but that's just a "chance" find.
No immediate plans, but I'm keeping my options open...
-
You mean like this, wyominghunter? :)
-
I thought that rifle had my name on it. LMAO!!!!!

I think you went to Africa instead. It has a 4-16 Vortex Viper 30mm scope on it now. I bought that from a guy in Virginia that could not cope with the recoil for my typical cheap bastard price. He said less than a box through it.I might have 4 boxes through it. ;D

I am always on the lookout for any Weatherby rifles that pop up for sale and have 3 or 4 I want to buy new. But that won't happen for some time as I just don't have the room to fit anymore in my safes and no room to put in more safes. Plus finances are a bit short for me at the moment. I have several mounts at my taxidermist that are done and still several more he is doing. I also don't have room for them. But I have friends that own 2 gun shops with plenty of wall space so I will hang them in there until I find a new house to buy or some land to build a trophy room with a house attached,
-
That is a great looking rifle Grouchy! You have excellent taste!
-
Going to sell a couple of them, but l don’t think that’s what you meant. If l would get a new gun it would be a shotgun
-
I like your plan BB. Theres one definite on my radar and one that falls into the " that would ne nice to have" catagory. I have for years longed for a Mark V Deluxe. Caliber somewhere between a 240 through a 270 Wby Mag. No real purpose for that other than those are the calibers I have the most ammo for. My main requirement is that it must have a beautifully figured stock, at least in my eyes. I've seen a couple over the years but something always seems to stands between one and myself. I'm in no rush, I'll find my Dluxe one day. What I really should do is forget any rifle/shotgun purchases and start making some scope purchases. I have quite a few arms thats new a new scope.
-
I’m planning on a backcountry carbon in 300wby and also rebarreling my 340 with a carbon barrel.
-
Well …
Now you guys got me thinking I should add a Backcountry carbon in 30-378 to the stable.
-
My goal is tonpick up a Deluxe Mark V in any Weatherby Mag caliber I don’t already have. Don’t care which one, just as long as it’s a good deal and in good condition.

Probably going to be a new muzzle loader something for long range using 209 or vari flame systems. had a cow elk hunt last week using my old Ruger 77/50 and number 11 caps of course snow on the ground mtn roads shut down the last day due to snow, hunting locally I pulled the trigger on a nice fat cow about 100 yds and cap went off and the 777 loose powder did not go bang, anyway fiddling around trying to get a new cap on the inline nipple watching the herd run off, then to top it off the next elk were side by side and couldn't shoot. Poked holes in left 2 bfg tires on my Bronco 9 dollars worth of car wash change to get most of the red clay off the Bronco and I did that on 2 different days. So I'm either going to get a new bolt built to convert the Ruger to a crush fit 209 system or buy a new long range muzzleloader. bought a set of 338 Lapua dies and bullets so I must be looking at one, not a real high priority though. I really don't want a new precision rifle stock more looking at the Weatherby and Christensen arms models but open to others makers if the right deal comes along, I'd be better off just using my trusty 300 Wby and save some jingle.
