Great video and information about the mighty Weatherby... thanks for sharing!

Au contraire, I love the no frills nature of your material. No puffery, just great information.

I like this one .. The town i grew up in had a Weatherby dealer out of the 6 stores in business and once a month back in the late 1950's and into the 1960's i would stop at the Weatherby dealer about once a month to look over the collection .. The Weatherby rifles to me were top notch in quality and workmanship and i told myself one day i'm going to buy one ..I remember at the time my Dad thought one of those was way too much money when you could buy model 70 for $124.00 or a Remington 700 for around the same ..So as time passed and i saved my money and i bought a Weatherby in .224 as i wanted a ctg close to the 22/250 in performance and the .224 is just that .. What a sweet quality rifle that would shoot very accurate .. You are correct the Weatherby rifles Mark V were made in Germany by J. P. Sauer & Sons who also built the fine Colt Sauer bolt rifles that were of excellent quality too .. I'm very happy with my Weatherby rifle to me there was nothing like a Weatherby ..I hunted with hunters who used the Weatherby 300 magnum for mostly elk , i never seen a bull walk away from that cartridge it would reach out there and deliver the results .. In fact it was 9 years ago i met a fellow at the range who had a Weatherby 30/378 now i was impressed with that ctg, of course he asked if i wanted to fire it , oh yes i would like to try it .. He had 1" thick steel plates hung up @400 yards his scope had marks for 200,300,400 and he told me which mark to use , oh my i'll tell you what those 190 grain bullets just paper punched those steel plates , that was fun..His favorite load was 119 grains of a certain powder ... off the bench it really wasn't near as bad as i thought the recoil would be .. You did a very good job , well done .. thanks

I can sit on the ragged edge and watch your videos all day long. You're a wealth of information, delivered honestly and humbly. I am a proud owner of a Mark V Accumark in .340 Weatherby, which I purchased new for elk hunting. It is a supremely accurate long-range cartridge, and captivating to handload for with the unique freebore aspect.

wonder wht loads u get for tht beastly cartridge, once the fabrique listed the .340 250 gr@ 3000 fps, they toned down to 2960 fps nowadays, and tht is still darn impressive...wonder with the newer powders wht is achievable with say 250 gr pills...will it actually do 3000 fps ++ ??

Don’t even think about your tremor, one of my oldest friends a boat builder, carpenter, yachtsman, surveyor, rattled so much you thought he’d fall to bits ! watching him getting ready to use a circular saw was frightening. But he’s still going in his seventies and still takes it in his stride. PS I didn’t even notice yours.

Thank you for the video. My first rifle was Weatherby mark v in 7 Wes mag with a west German zeiss scope. It was Christmas present and I was 18 yrs old. I’m over 50 now and still hunt with it. Zero issues and as accurate as it is beautiful.

Ahh a fellow Weatherby connesseur! (sp?) My eyes lit up when I read the title of the video. I too have longed for a Weatherby since my early adolescense years (I'm 51 now). I remember having in my desk in 6th grade a gun magazine with an article on the .340 Weatherby cartridge saying it could be the most versatile cartridge ever (the tops of the desks we had flipped up so you could keep books, papers, etc. in them). The article went on to say it is powerful enough on its own to take any of the largest, most dangerous beasts on earth, along with being downloaded to hunt deer and smaller fauna. I have wanted a Weatherby Mark V Deluxe in .340 Weatherby Magnum ever since. One could argue that the Mk V Deluxe is among the most beautiful rifles ever made. Simply gorgeous. At around $2500, a fair price as well for such a fine rifle. One day I WILL own one....one day....... Btw, AWESOME VIDEO!! And what tremor?? Youre fine brother. No one's bothered by it...whatever it is. I can't tell anything's wrong?

Thank you for your kindness and sharing the Weatherby life story. I'm certain you'll have a Weatherby soon - all good things to those who wait. Some of the Mark Vs have wood that is so spectacular I can't believe it. Lately I handled 2 that would be Grade 7 if they were Turkish walnut - all for what amounts to a very modest price considering... Anyway, I'm with you and look forward to which cal. you choose. All the best to you.

One of my favorite rifles was an Interarms Mark X 30-06. Beautiful deep blue black finish, like new bore. Inherited from my beloved late Father in Law, Gifted to my son. He wanted a scope mounted and took it to a reputable gun shop and they asked where did you get this? They loved it. Classic Mauser action. Beautiful, slick, accurate. A real rifle.

Back in the sixties I would read the Outdoor Life magazines in my elementary school library. They always had Weatherby adds in them. Fast forward forty five years and I see a Mark V Deluxe at a pawn shop in gorgeous condition with the Signature scope. That .300 Wthby. Magnum kicks like a mule and is completely useless on our Florida deer, but I'll never sell it.

No need to apologize. I can't get enough of your channel. Really informative and you show some amazing firearms.

Mike, I would definitely say that your channel is one of the best. Far from “ragged edge”. Regarding Weatherby rifles, back in the late 1970’s as a teen, we had a family friend who was an avid hunter and in particular, bear hunter. He had a large collection of Weatherby rifles and stuffed Grizzlies. He invited my folks and I to dinner and showed me his collection of Weatherby rifles. I don’t recall how many he had, but there were a lot and at the time, I think I was more interested in his daughter than his fine collection. He told us many bear hunting stories in Alaska and in one story, he and his pilot of a small single engine float plane ended up in Soviet airspace where they landed and bagged a bear on some island. Then quickly loaded the bear on the plane and got back to the US. He always said that Weatherby was the rifle to have for hunting. He has long since past on, not sure whatever happened to his collection. As always, I enjoyed your video. Cheers.

As a kid in the early 60s, I'd look at every gun magazine I could find. I remember the Weatherby ads. Featuring famous Hollywood stars holding their rifles. I thought wow, they must be incredible rifles. Thanks for your enjoyable videos!

Your videos, your fine firearm collection and your knowledge of each are much appreciated sir. Thank you for the effort of producing your content.

As others have said, your videos are always fascinating! You fill a niche, in that you talk about form, function, collectibility, and legacy. I don't own a Weatherby (yet!) but I totally agree: when I was younger, I always thought they'd forever be untouchable! Happy to hear that the current Vanguard is still a quality firearm!

Quality video, please don’t sell yourself short. The only thing lacking in your video was omission of the .257 weatherby magnum, it was Roy’s favorite (and is my favorite) cartridge. Not only is it one of the most iconic and best selling weatherby cartridges but it is only now over seventy years later that is is being edged out by the ballistics of newer 6.5s like the prc. The .257 is the bigger badder grandpa of all the .25 cal and 6.5 mm round it’s still an exceptional hunting cartridge and really deserves a place in any conversation about weatherby.

I am a long range bench rest shooter, all of my guns have been built by a gunsmith for whatever round that interests at the time. I had a rifle built for a 300 weatherby and I have won more matches with it than anything else. Weatherby was ahead of all the others with his case design and the extra powder that it can hold due to the fact the the shoulders are much steeper. I don't know much about the quality of the rifles but they look good and I have never heard a bad report about one. From what I can see, it comes down to the quality of the barrel. If the barrel is good then you can bet the action will be good, I have never heard of a good barrel on a bad action. Anyway I might buy one for hunting, I don't think I could go wrong.

I bought Roy Weatherby's personal 300 Mag..... 30 years ago and I still have it.....Mark 5

I've had a .257 Weatherby over 30 years, built in a Sako Magnum Action. About the time the rifle was being built (in 1988), I got interested in the Powley Ballistics Computer (a slide rule and tables for predicting performance), one of the features that piqued my interest was a Barrel Volume (Barrel Length) vs Case Capacity function... Weatherby cartridges had a reputation for being "overbore" (Barrel Length being too short for the Case Capacity) in several configurations, so I took the opportunity to use the Powley Computer to calculate optimum barrel length for several mid-bore calibers (6mm to 338 caliber)... oddly enough, the .257 Weatherby did come out as a slight overbore until you got to around 26" of rifling... so I built the rifle with a 28" long barrel. Six weeks later, the proof was in the pudding: it was pushing 100 grain bullets at over 3300 FPS with a *starting* load of IMR-4831 (according to the Speer Manual 11th. Edition). The rifle also shot really well: it was meant as a Deer/Coyote rifle, but it was a bit heavy to tote as a deer rifle. Still have the rifle today.

Everything from weatherby stomps on Winchester and other manufacturers ballistically. So many 270 win fans don’t even realize there’s a handful of better cartridges. It’s makes me upset the 270,240 and 257 wby isn’t as popular as the 270 win or 308. Got my 257 8 years ago and I’ve taken a handful of whitetail, 2 black bears, an elk and a bighorn sheep. Longest shot was 300 yards. Every animal I’ve taken with it no matter the range both lungs turned into jelly.

I’ve owned 4 Mark V’s, still own 3 Vanguards and have owned more Vanguards than I can remember off the too of my head. The Mark V’s have never been anything but reliable and accurate as are the Vanguards. But given the choice I will take a Vanguard. The two lug system is more than strong enough as history has proven and provides far more primary extraction and seating power in the cams than a multi lug system. The more lugs you have the more camming power you lose. When Weatherby went from the classic polished bolt with straight flutes on the Mark V to the oh so trendy spiral flutes and black bolt that was the final nail for me with the Mark V. It, to me, lost its distinctiveness. Just my opinion. Interestingly that Howa makes the Vanguard and also used to make the Mark V. It is a great book too. Read mine a couple times now. Really liked the old school ammo boxes far better than the new style.

Best regards Shoe in SW Oregon.

I bought.270 W Mag 30 some yrs ago. Very accurate & powerful rifle. Thanks for video, I thought it was great !!

Yet another great video. I dont own a Weatherby yet but its on my bucket list in the near future.

Thank you sandych33ks1 - I appreciate every encouraging word - and hope you get a Weatherby soon.

I like this guy lol he’s very watchable. Very serious and knowledgeable, but doesn’t take himself too seriously. 👍🏽👏🏽

Few better examples of how much of society's somewhat depraved is noticing how an outstanding channel like this which highlights, history, engineering, manufacturing, art etc etc.. in the form of firearms has such a small fraction of subscribers compared to young adults with zero intelligence acting like five year olds! Keep up your Wonderfull content and demeanor it is much appreciated !! Its truly amazing how much you teach us in each video !

Never noticed the tremors. So overwhelmed with the knowledge you're imparting, I rarely see anything other than what you're presenting.
