For the Weatherby fans...Did you see this?

Big Bore Revival? Posted on their FB page.

Classic Weatherby muzzle break getting its own pan over clip was funny to me.
No thanks!

I am not a fan of the Weatherby aesthetics, just reporting what I saw in case there are some fans on here. I don't know what or when they are going to reveal what that short video alludes to.

I am a Weatherby fan, but only of the cartridges.

A new model to the Mk V lineup?

I remember the days when I wanted a Weatherby in every one of their calibers. Never had one. This advertisement made me look again. The DGR and Frontier rifles look neat. I think it will be another cartridge introduction in both of those rifles.

DGRs are back. That's cool. I had a 416 Rem DGR a long time ago. Was a good rifle.

I always liked the mark v.

Now that I'm looking again, I think it might be an announcement of the DGR and Frontier that are already showing on the website? $4k and $5k standard production Weatherby DGR rifles. They look good to me except for the cookie-cutter NECG iron sights. For that money, I want a custom full rib with a better sight and something beefier up front.

The DGR’s never went away, just made to order. Son had a 460WBY with synthetic stock made this summer.

Maybe they will make it in a .404 J or a .425 WR. Lol

What about giving the 378/416/460 Mags the RPM or the RSM treatment or similar? I can see them redesigning the 378 by removing the belt and shortening the case to jump into the RSM ring, even though it seems the RSMs are becoming less popular. Could they do this and retain the double radius? It would still headspace, right?

Maybe,Adam seems to be doing allot of stuff that wasn’t what the company was known for or what his Grandfather did. Marketing to the New

I think that is what it was. Those guns were not listed on the website this morning when I looked.

I would like to see them offer them in 416 Remington magnum, 416 Rigby, 458 lott, and 470 Capstick!

I am always happy to see any company release rifles in true Safari calibers. I am not a huge weatherby guy, but good for them.

 

[sureshot375]

I think it’s great to see someone getting back in the DG market.

My dad hunted with a mark V in .300wby for many years. It’s a great rifle that served us well on many trips to Africa, Canada, Alaska and more.

I’m probably going to pick up a new .375 in the semi near future. I will definitely be giving the weatherby a closer look.

Due to the poor reputation of their three proprietary DG cartridges, Weatherby will be forced to do this if they want to sell DG rifles.

 

[Sabre]

I might be in the minority on this, but I don't get the hype about Weatherby. I'm not a big fan of the way their rifles feel in my hands and when shouldered. Aesthetically many of them don't look great. I have had friends with more than a few that had accuracy issues. And the proprietary cartridges that cost a fortune compared to similar chamberings are a turn off to me.

The same friends that have had issues with them keep buying more of them. So they seem to have a hold on some people, I assume for nostalgia reasons. But I could be missing something.

 

[BeeMaa]

Like others, I'm happy to see a company dedicated to DG rifles. That said, it's like having an AMX Javelin when you really wanted a GTO. It's still a muscle car, but it just doesn't look right.

I wonder if this means they'll re-release the Vanguard dangerous game rifles as well. I'd be interested in one of those in particular if the released one in .375 weatherby
