New weatherby Varmintmaster

[Dirtbag]

I know there is a lot of folks here that don’t like weatherby but I thought this was worth a post. I like what they did here. Sure they could have done .22 creed chambering here, but I like how they kept some nostalgia with the .224 weatherby. In a 1:8 this will be a great, lightweight, deer/antelope/coyote gun. I’m glad they did it in a deluxe and not some plastic Hushin rifle as well. The OGs bring a pretty penny on gunbroker.

That’s cool. The Weatherby Mark V stock fits me really well - high gloss & super smooth.

I think it will be a winner. The 224 is an odd under powered cartridge, so keeping it is weird, but I’m always glad to see another fast twist 22-250 on the market.

Good for them. Making it a 1:8” twist is great. The .224 Weatherby is one of the neatest cartridges made. I was having one put together this year and this should make brass easier to come by.
