THEIR RIFLE SPECIFICATION DETAILS COPIED BELOW:

My Mother Camilla Weatherby always said “You get what you pay for.” With me, for style and hit-like-a-ton-of-bricks performance on the world’s toughest animals, you get it all. A French AAA-Fancy Walnut Monte Carlo stock for example, with Ebony caps at the forend and pistol grip. My hand-cut Fluer-de-lis checkering will delight your hands with its elegance and sure grip. A Damascened bolt and engraved “Safari Custom” floorplate add even more class. As for the ton-of-bricks part? Well, that’s what happens at the business end of my muzzle as Weatherby Magnum muscle departs for yet another safari success.

HERE you will also see these rifles were near enough $7000 back when they were still an option. Then consider anything gun orientated costs the best part of, if not double by the time it reaches the UK.

As such this is a BARGAIN. Even for someone back where it was made including Export and Shipping.

A Beautifull Strong Straight Grain High Grade Walnut Stock. Deep Colour Contrast ranging from a Dark Hazel Nut Brown through to Black. Raised Cheek Rest. Lazer Cut Fleur de Liegh Decorative Panel and Extra Fine Line Checkering to the Grip areas. Ebony (now a protected timber Worldwide and illegal) For-end Tip and Grip Cap. Both set onto a Contrasting White Spacer. The Grip Cap also featuring a similar Flush Inlet Diamond Pattern.

Trigger Guard adorned with the Company Stylised ‘W’ Trademark / Logo. Then the Hinged Magazine Floor Plate detailed with Light Floral Scroll Work around a Light Banner with ‘SAFARI CUSTOM’ inside. To the Left Side of the Action: Made in USA with Weatherby and a circled ‘R’, ATASCADERO CA. Then US Patent No. 3.013.355. The same side of the chamber stamped .460 WBY MAG (Weatherby Magnum) below.

Fixed Open / Iron Sights with an Additional Flip Up / Down ‘Second Zero’ Blade. The Action pre-drilled and tapped ready to accept suitable Scope mounts. I should have some along with a selection of suitable scopes so PLEASE DO ASK / CHECK.

Knurled Bolt Knob at the Top and Bottom to ensure as Positive a Grip possible. Given what is likely in front of you the last thing needed is fingers slipping! The Bolt having a Straight Line Fluted and Jewel / Engine Turned finish to the Shaft. Plus, the usual 9 Interlocking Lugs for perfect Face and Bore Alignment. That in turn helping toward their Accuracy Guarantee. The Magazine Follower with matching Jewelled decoration.

Weatherby WERE THE FIRST manufacturer to offer Sub MOA out of the box accuracy on their standard range. The MARK V went out at half that!

This REALLY IS an ABSOLUTE CRACKER of a Rifle, basically in As New Condition and a 100% Collectors Piece. IF there is another out there in even close condition Worldwide, I will be seriously surprised.

YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.
