Weatherby built these when they moved to Wyoming and if you've never seen one, they are absolutely beautiful. Fit and finish is what you would expect from Weatherby's best efforts. Long out of production and unavailable now, it would be nice if they make them again in '29 for the 10th anniversary. I'd love to have one in the safe, although I don't know if the cost by then would prohibit that. Definitely an heirloom to leave to your grandchildren.
Come and take it.

They were beautiful guns. at that time they were like $5k, $7.5k and $10k (bronze, silver and gold) and several members here bought them but would hate to think of the cost of them by 2029. ouch. biggest draw back (IMO) was they were in 300 wby if I remember right.

They were way out of my price range, especially for a gun I'd be afraid to ding up. I did see a lazermark at a gun show that was a very pretty gun.  :)

I only have WY000001 and WY000002 left.  I kept those for good measure.  And boy do they have pretty wood on them!

I want to make a display in our showroom with #1.  Hope to have that up someday and you could see it if traveling through Sheridan, WY.

I've visited your facility several times, once to pick up my .240 Weathermark. I look forward to seeing that particular rifle. I want to thank you and your staff for making each visit memorable and for making your home in our beautiful state.

That's outstanding!

A few years ago, I bought some of the stock plaques that were in commemorative rifles - I am not sure whether they were sold separately or whether somewhere along the line someone pulled them out of a rifle?

Thanks for posting Adam. Being from Pa, I dont get out your way much but I sure do want to stop in one day and say howdy and look around. Wifey might frown with me leaving with a melted credit card.

Those are outstanding rifles - some incredible wood made those rascals. I'm sure i will kick myself harder for not biting the bullet - i'm sure pricing isn't ever going down; lol

Thank you Adam and the weatherby team for making gems;
