Mauser Weatherby

[Pficarra1]

I have 2 old Weatherby rifles that were bought new to hunt in Alaska by my neighbor and his Father who lived in Alaska. I am considering selling them as I have a 7mm WBY which does all I need to hunt Deer. They both are 300 WBY and have flip over Scope Mounts. One has Iron sights and the other has a Weaver Scope. They have early Serial numbers of 565 and 1362. Any idea of the value of these Rifles?

These are called Southgates.In 300 Weatherby they are worth from $900 to $1500 depending on barrel length and condition.Good luck!

I would go to the Weatherby Collectors Forum,or list them on gunbroker.com.Guns America also.

as tom said depends on a few factors mostly condition and wood grain in the stock will play a factor - if it was a more desirable caliber like 240/257 are the most popular u could see those values double.

Allot of 300's online for sale you can do a little research and honestly stack yours up against them and see. Guns re-sales are cold right now most people looking for deals when couple years ago it was a sellers market. 300/7mm's for whatever reason do not get as much hype. I guess all the smart people already own one and everyone is jumping on band wagons with modern rifles chambered in prc's and rums - i pull my weatherby's out and the new kids look at me I have to remind them these calibers were hot decades before the new stuff you have lol

Good luck with your sales,

I recently was bidding on a Southgate Weatherby on Gunbroker. When the bidding passed my level of affordability I moved onto another "new" style. Those early models are in more demand than I first thought. Many years ago I saw a 270 Weatherby Magnum on a Mauser 98 action. I think of going higher on the bidding at the auction now and then. I am happy with a remarkably accurate 7mm Weatherby on a similar 98 action so it all worked out.
