I know this don’t have anything to do with this video but I needed to get it out there, I’ve been hunting with my dad ever since I learned to walk. That was almost 50 years ago. Not long ago my dad brought me over his deer stand and told me he was done can’t do it anymore. The realization of what happened was like a kick in the gut. Every minute you get out in the woods with your father treat it like it will be your last because that day will come.
I remember being the boy who loved hunting more than anything. Now in my mid and accelerating 70s I don’t hunt anymore. It’s just not the fun it once was. I hear what you are saying and get the drift. If Dad’s heart isn’t in it anymore I’d take him at his word. When a man gets to the point that WTW could be a grandson, you know time is marching on. Could be it’s time for other things.
I retired to a farm that was bought as a hunting property. I let a young fellow (age 21 or 22) hunt here and he has killed record book bucks the last 2 years. You might find a youngster hungry to hunt and pass in the tradition. Could be a win/win.
I can appreciate this ... As my Niece said in the eulogy to her Dad, " We didn't know we were making memories all we knew is we were having fun".
Got to say I totally relate to this it was same with me and my dad God I miss those times ever wish you could go back I would for sure stay safe 👍👍
I go back in my dreams...@@davidmackee8575
Good for all you guys that had that experience. It's harder and harder to come by these days. I've always hunted alone and taught myself everything. Though admittedly I'm not that great. And don't have access to much land right now.
You remind me when I got my weatherby back in 1980 I was super excited too.
I purchased a Weatherby Vanguard Deluxe in 1980 as well in the 300 WinMag. Absolutely beautiful rifle with the gloss finish and the dark blue barrel etc. I did get an AccuBrake installed by Weatherby and it made an impressive reduction in recoil and rifle rise.
You’re gonna love that 257! The ammo is expensive as hell but it’s a smoking cartridge.
Congrats - awesome round! I have a 257 and 300 weatherby....don't really need anything else....but don't tell the wife, or the safes would get emptied.
🤣🤣🤣
Soo glad to see this. Not enough about the .257 weatherby.
Amazed you even found ammo in a store.
Now that's a caliber that is worth reloading! Factory rounds are $$$.
Awesome rifle and cartridge!
Gotta pay to play
When I got mine in 2018, all the ammo available only had 100g TTSX, which is what I got. 5 boxes…it was NOT cheap!
A friend shoots the 30-378 and several years ago each Trigger Pull Emptied $5 USD in Benjamin Notes. Reloading the Brass brought it Down to $1.50 or so. NOW those same Factory rounds are $8 USD. No way around the Costs except get a Dealer License or Remanufacturing reconstructed fired cases with Yur Favorite ingredients. Definitely Not [Cheap] nowadays. Safer Travels brudder.
Love my 257 Weatherby Mag and Toliver’s is one of my favorite gun shops.
One of my biggest gun regrets is walking away from a early model Weatherby Mark 257 weatherby mag , with a Weatherby marked scope at The Outpost.
I went back 2 hours later and it was gone. I learned to never walk away from a dream rifle deal if you don’t have to.
That happened to me today on something else 🤦♂️
I enjoy your passion for the Weather.
Weatherby (Stupid spellcheck)
Always wanted a 257 Weatherby! Going to buy a deluxe custom when I am able. Can’t wait for a review!
Awesome! Appreciate you watching
@@pappamike6231 Gwreetings brudder! I don't believe I've seen any Weatherby stock with the "thumb rest". YET. I've seen ole 1903A3 30/06 stock with a Palm Swell in the Grip.
Beautiful when a plan comes together.
There's nothing quite like the moment you finally get your hands on your dream rifle after years of anticipation. Can't wait to see the rifle that has captured your imagination!
😍😍😍
@@WHOTEEWHO Beautiful boolot thrower , Weatherby is quality and that spiral fluting looks awesome have to give us a total weight when you get the scope on
A twizzler barrel and bolt..delicious. That’s a great caliber if you can find and afford the boolots to sling down the range…Looking forward to the nerd out analysis.
The 6.5 Creedmoor will do the job as good or better.
@@craigsellier5973 you 6.5 owners think its the be all , end all but ballistic ratings can prove a different story
That’s is a sweet looking rifle, can’t wait to see the sighting in video 👍🏼
I love my 257. She has a 30" McGowen slinging 131gr Blackjack Aces. Brass was hard to get there for a bit but I started making them from 7mm rem. You did good on that one. Great vid Whoots.
I had one for awhile. Great antelope cartridge. I found it temperamental but a great cartridge once I got the load developed . Nice looking rifle.
Dang, Roy's favorite. Not a fan of magnum cartridges and already have a 25-06, but I think I would give that 257 WbyMag a shot!!! 😉😉😉
I vaguely remember somebody taking an early one to Africa and loving it. Wally Taber comes to mind, late 40s or early 50s. The cartridge doesn’t matter. Getting a dream gun is a hoot. Yes, he was a real guy with hunting shows etc.
The .257 Wby Mag is arguably the finest hunting cartridge for deer sized game. Dare to sight it 3 inches high at 100 yards and you'll have a laser beam.
Lazer indeed
Great looking gun! My grandson has a weatherby in that caliber. It is a great shooter!
Awesome!
Glad I’m not the only one who buys ammo for guns that I don’t own yet! A .257 wby is next on my list
🤣🤣🤣
InDeedy so Sweet Digital Hunting Dreams then. Digital ammo sent by Hummingbird LLC Delivery Svce. A note has a Signature space that absolves ANY loss per Extra Surcharge titled (EQUIPMENT) titled Sticker.
I thought everyone did that. I was buying 30-06 before I had anything to shoot it from
Had a 25.06 in a Ruger heavy barrel varmint rifle - accurate and would reach out, but didn’t like it performance up against my 270 Winchester. Guys I love guns of all calibers and own many, but always end up setting in the deer stand with my 270 Winchester.. I’m weird I guess😜- it sets the standard on my farm!
Cool Adam can't hardly wait to see the groups that thing shoots
Stay tuned!
Great choice Wootee, I've never shot one either but I've been reading great things about them for 50 years!
My dad shoots a 240wby mag. 25-06 is probably my favorite caliber for white tail size critters, and 257bee is its big brother. Really look forward to your videos on it!
240 is mean on Arkansas deer and hogs
Congratulations!!!! 🎉🎊🥳👍🥳can't wait to see your groups.
Happy you finally got it can't wait for the shooting videos will be fun.
I remember the day I got my 300 Weatherby I was so happy. Saw it on Mutual Of Omaha when I was just a little fella and they shot a Rhinoceros (my memory is three with one shot) that could be true or not, but from that day I wanted one and it was everything I thought it would be and more, the day I got a Bear made it worth the money and the wait I have enjoyed it for years now.
I hope you make some good memories with your 257 Weatherby and it is as good as you thought it would be + some 👍🏻
Nothing else is like a Weatherby to me and the more I shoot mine the better it gets 👍🏻
I’ve never been a .25cal fan myself but whatever you like is what matters. I personally would have went with the newer 6.5-300 Weatherby but I don’t like the idea of one company controlling all the ammo flow and brass flow. Best of luck!!
I've never connected with rifled like he does. I'm a huge revolver and pistol nut. I get excited about revolvers like he does rifles.
I get it! Everyone has their thing
Eggzackly so brudder Citizen
I have only gotten to shoot 1 Weatherby and it was my brother's 7mm....loved it! Can't wait to see the upcoming videos. Just started posting on TH-cam some of my videos of a property project.
They have a Weatherby accumark at a pawnshop near me for sale at half price right now but the only drawback is it’s left handed but boy is it a killer deal and it’s been sitting there for a couple years so I am still looking at it, sure hope I stop looking at it or else I may end up coming home with it!
I’ve always wanted a 264 win mag or a 270 weatherly mag.
Love the 25cal. Dad's deer rifle was a 25.06 and it was a laser in his hands. Enjoy that 257 looks amazing
My dad aswell lol
both of your dads were cultured gentlemen
Brother, I got away from .30 cal almost 30 years ago when I went to the necked down 25/06. I deer hunt northern Missouri for big bodied whitetail and that round has no problem taking care of business.
I used to have a 257 wby. Now i hunt with a 7mm rem mag. Anyway, I took several whitetail with the 257 and it knocked them down like the 7mm. I really couldn't tell much difference. The 257 wby is an excellent cartridge and one of my favorites......
Awesome
Love it - had a hunch it would be a Weatherby! There's nothing better than getting your dream rifle home ... mine's the Weatherby Mark V in 30-378 Weatherby Magnum, the 30 cal M.O.A.B. ... enjoy, bro!
M.O.A.B. Mother of all bing-bangs? 😆
257 Weatherby Magnum Forester micrometer die on clearance at Midway USA for 89.14 dang good deal!!!! Glad you got your dream rifle.
Yup Love the 257 Bee! One of my favorites. I have every Bee caliber.
I love the velocity comparisons just as much as the next guy, but a chronograph tells the real tale. I would like to see when you are doing the ammo comparisons to shoot the selected boo-lots over a chronograph to get the real world velocity.
None of the Weatherby factory ammo shot better than 3 MOA out of 6.5x300, Hendershots custom ammo in Maryland fixed me up, his 143 Hornady ELD load shoots sub MOA....check them out if the factory ammo is not very accurate.
I'm happy for you. That's a real nice looking rifle made by an outstanding gun builder.
It's pretty cool watching your channel over the years and to see you get so giddy over another rifle.
Good luck with the .257mag!
I know you'll enjoy those hp groups.
Congrats on an awesome new bing-bang. That is a real treasure.
Have to say that the way you sold it WTW I hoped it was from the John Rigby stable. 😉
Been pushing you to get one for awhile. You are going to love what it does on deer. It is a lazer beam and hits very hard. I like the 80gr TTSX. Used to use 120gr Partitions but Wby stopped using them.
Can't wait to find out
Roy's favorite and absolutely one of my favorite too. I reacted the same as you when I finally got mine!!
Never know what you are going to show up with next. Your enthusiasm is infectious. Thank God you do what you do. I find that you are a good middle ground between the Ron Spomer (strictly hunting, no clowning around) and the strictly tactical guys.
🙏🙏🙏 appreciate you watching
Bet that rig is a LAZER BEEM! Super Super happy for you Boss💯 can’t wait 💥💥💥
That’s a SLICK stick man. I’m sure it’s a shooter too man, so so so happy to see them making something on the 700 platform! Kinda wish they cut one in the 6.5PRC since I’ve already setup for that… maybe in time, but otherwise I gotta get one in that hot little 7PRC! Congrats!
SMGA in Knoxville almost always has 257 Weatherby factory loads in stock. They stock a lot of Weatherby loads
On buying a dream gun i had two as I grew up. Not so much the rifle as the cartridge. One was a 250 Savage, the other was the 280 Remington. The 280 i found at Gander Mountian and found a Reminton 725 in 280 Rem had a 3x9 Luepold gold ring scope in Weaver bases and rings with a fancy padded leather sling with a deer head carved into it. Paid $425.
The 250 I could not find or afford to buy new. I found a Savage Model 11 chambered in 243. When I got it home I ordered a 250 Savage Adams & Bennet barrel and tool kit to screw into this Savage. Never shot it as a 243, just bought it to swap bsrrels. Paid $200 for the rifle and $135 for the barrel and tool kit.
Had many other guns over the years, some I miss others not so much.
I agree that the WBY 257 is a greet cartridge I'd luv to have one but I still really want to get that 460 WBY to warm my heart!
My stepson has one and LOVES IT.. talk about a fuggin speed demon and a real easy to shoot rifle. Always on the lookout for ammo for him. Rock on 🤠💯🇺🇸
Get you a one piece spuhr mount for that rig. You won’t be sorry. Nice rifle. Good choice. Save your brass. Reload for it because of ammo availability and price. I have a 300 wby mark v I bought in 1988. Love it. Many deer have been taken with it. All were DRT (dead right there).
Happy for ya man!!! Not much feels better than getting a new Bing Bang!! I say that all the time now! 😅 Arken makes some really nice 34mm rings!
I guess it right before you even showed the ammo and it's the best deer caliber ever made in my opinion but you'll love it when that a deer with it but you'll need to let it cool between shots because it'll get smoking hot after 3 shots and I've used a lot of different bullets over the years and you definitely want a bonded bullet, it's so fast cup and core bullets explode instantly on game animals so you definitely need a tuffer bullet the scirocco is my favorite for the 257 🤘
If the Model 307 builders action gets more attention from barrel makers, specifically in a Proof prefit, I’m building a 6.8 Western off it.
My dad has a 257 Roberts in a 700 Classic an always done a great job. He prefers the +P 120gr. He always wanted a 257 Weatherby. Sweet rifle....
6.5-300 WM would have been Roy's favorite if it was around when he was. I really like mine!
Well done!! I don't know why, but my 257w is likely my favourite ... something inherently quintessential (trying to avoid saying 'Cool'!), a rapier vs long sword, Errol Flynn vs Jimmy Stewart (though I love my 'Jimmy Stewart' rifles!!), 1968 Jaguar 'E' Type V12 top-down, vs Rolls, fast blonde in convertible vs Ingrid Bergman, etc etc. It's certainly not the 'best' for hunting in many categories of evaluation... but has that something special that dreams are made on!
I have one. Haven't really used it because bullets are so expensive. Nice looking rifle
My very first "custom" rifle purchase, guessing around age 26, was a Ruger No. 1 chambered in 25-06. It never had a single round sent down the barrel in that caliber. I promptly, after purchase, had it re-chambered for 257 Wby Mag. Coyotes, Antelope, Deer, Bear and Elk have been taken with. Great Shooter, very accurate, everything you want. But,,,, beware, you are holding Thor in your hand, and if Thor hits in the wrong spot, you;re in for a mess. Still, one of my all time favorites.
I just did a similar thing I was excited about 10mm for quite sometime. I finally got one. Now I just need to get my 338 Lapua and my dream calibers will be basically covered 🤗
I share your interest in the 307, love the tooless bolt take down and the fit and feel of the stock
Pretty awesome
Love the 257 Weatherby. I've had one for years
I hope you influencers continue to supports 6.8 western. It’s so good and needs more recognition.
Fantastic rifle can't wait to see you making your own loads for this great rifle
I have a project i plan to take care of first, but following that I am really wanting a 30-06 one of these. I have been waiting on a factory aics dbm bolt gun 30-06 for a good while now. very reasonable price for the features.
I got a Winchester 1894. Made 1907.30.30. 26" octagon barrel.30.30 been around a long time.😊😊😊
That is a Cadillac bing bang for sure. I love speedy boolots.
In my night vision hog hunting rig, I run Liberty Animal Instinct 100 gr 30-06 ammo. They advertise 3500 fps. I don't have a way to measure that, but they sure make a mess on those hogs. Take care!
Beautiful rig brother! Man, that is a cruiser!!!!
This guy gets just as excited about a new rifle as I do! I just purchased a new Weatherby mark V in 7mm weatherby. Enjoy your new weatherby brother!
Very nice!
My friend in Wyoming has a 257 Weatherby and he shot deer at extreme distance and dropped most within feet, and not yards. He also took a big bull elk just as effectively!! Awesome new Bing bang, my friend!!
I would only use those Hornady’s for varmits or target. That 257 has so much velocity those bullets will probably explode on contact
" . . .explode . . ."
Fragment ? ☆
@@fjb4932 more than likely. That’s a 300 wby mag necked down to a 25 caliber. That is a whole lot of powder pushing a small projectile
I have a .300 WBY Mag in a Ruger #1 I got years ago. I love it but it's not one to take plinking.
Very nice
Another great Weatherby rifle the 257 is the best deer cartridge ever made.
Have two friends that have 257 Weatherby mag they love them super accurate and devastating on deer
Good to hear
I love my 25 cal my 25-06 is my baby but my 257 is as well it's a laser beam I hand load everything. 117 gr hornady sst and interlock .it can be hard to find brass so I've converted alot of 7mm rem mag brass it will be .005 short until you shoot it then its right on the oil case length
Careful with that one. Those 1/4 bores are known to be barrel burners.
Nice! I’ve always wanted a .340 weatherby
I avoid ‘proprietary’ cartridges (e.g. Weatherby or Nosler) like the plague because I don’t reload. I have passed up some amazingly cheap rifles, usually Weatherbys, because of this.
i am a big fan of the .257 caliber, i have a 25-45 sharps, 25.06 and a 257 Poa improve. and just order the 257 weatherby. you need to do a clay block challenge between the 25.06 and the 257 weatherby.
THIS…has gotta be my favorite gun channel on TH-cam!!! Love everything you put out there for our entertainment WHO_TEE_WHO and congrats on the freaking badass new rifle!!
Thanks so much appreciate you watching!
257 Weatherby is showcased in Handloader magazine in the August 2022 edition starting on Page 46. Thought this might be helpful or useful to you. Nice video again. Max
Thanks
Clay and Mellon be flyon!
I have the bigger brother to the 257....the 270 wby. Took my 2 10 pointers and an 8 with it. From 150yds to 310yds, Just an awesome deer round. My personal favorite!
those 257 are severly costley arent they
I was just in Sheridan today, I should have stopped in to Weatherby to check one out.
Awesome!
Quarter size caliber is great if you reload,,like the 06,weatherby,or 25-08 souper which I reload for……
Had one,sold it years ago but it is an excellent round.i got rid of all my belted mags. Wolf hunting is about all I do anymore
I felt the exact same about the 280ai, it’s my absolute favourite cartridge in the world. The recoil isn’t that bad and it’s capable of taking anything that walks the earth.
Consider “American Rifle Company” scope rings. Ive only heard great things. Id like your opinion. I don’t represent them and haven’t used any but they look excellent.
Thank you for the review. I love the 25-06 and 100gr Barnes TTSX. Appreciate you Adam.
My father’s favorite cartridge. Custom-made his own with his brother in the 60’s.
Great looking gun! I shoot a 25-06 with 110 accubonds and the 115 ballistic tip it’s a tack driver. Love the .257 calibers
I had never even heard of this round. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Thanks for watching
Very beautiful rifle brother cant wait to see the balistics on that bad boy comparing 270 an other calibres . I have a 270 an loved it for a while now .257 looks like a fenominal round an rifle it's in. I might buy a 416 Rigby or a ar platform for my next rifle incase big animal encounters in the forest . Or hunting big game . Heard an seen the 8.7 is a boogy machine at a 1. Twist rate so I'm excited to see the 257 in action on getting the good food to the table an balistics an performance an compared to other cartridges. Was a exciting amazing video brother keep up the awesome work . An definantly a calibre worth reloading . 🤘❤🙏🇺🇸
Weatherby’s typically require much free-bore to acquire their stated velocity. Interesting to see accuracy.
I've been waiting to see videos on the 307 weatherby rifle, I'm set on it being my next rifle. looking forward to seeing how it performs!
So many bing-bangs, so little time! Thanks for showing us your new boolot slanger. 👍🏼
This cartridge looks superb if you eat a lot of mince, it wont have to go in a grinder but this would be of interest to me if it was a 1/8 twist shooting 130 up boolats, nice looking rifle and i will be back for the sight in Adam
Wow that rifles a work of art congratulations wtw
You will love that triggertech trigger no creep whats so ever
You should be Able to easily get .2" groups with that rig
Going to do my best!
Dude when I think of Weatherby,, I think of like the Mark V with the Walnut stock… But,, still nice gun and when you go to the range and your next to the dude with his Del-ton AR and 25 dollar red dot from Amazon and some pos “tactical” flash light on the front you can say “yeah it’s a Weatherby want to take a pic with it”
That's a sweet looking slinger, love the fluted barrel, very nice pick up mate cheers Yogi 👍
