Weatherby Firearms Moving to Wyoming

Just announced at the SHOT Show in Vegas, legendary rifle maker Weatherby is moving to Wyoming.

Many, many years ago worldwide hunter and adventurer Gary Starkey was a huge fan of Weatherbyrifles. At the time it was the only rifle he would own and use. He collected several and took many gameanimals with these rifles on several continents. His were the most deluxe, high grade factory cataloged Mark V Weatherby’s available at the time.

Starkey’s favorite Weatherby calibers included the 7mm, .300, .340, and .416. He loved to brag that these rifles were manufactured in California. In those days, California was cutting edge, the “hip” state, the place to be from or going to. Weatherby icon, Roy Weatherby was a celebrity in the firearms industry.

Weatherby was originally a German manufactured gun , a few years back Japan took over the gun Manufacturing. You will never get as good a gun unless you buy a German made Weatherby .
