- One of my earliest memories as a "gunner" is longing to own a Weatherby rifle. I think a lot of you share my love of Weatherby rifles and I hope you enjoy this look at these excellent firearms. On the table I have different Weatherbys including a Mark 5 and a Vanguard. I also have on display, and discuss, some interesting cartridges. I ask you...is there a bad Weatherby?

“On the ragged edge of being watchable.” No Sir! I thoroughly enjoy your videos and envy your collection. You seem to be one of the kindest and most polite firearm content creators on TH-cam. Please keep up the good work and pay haters no mind.
I appreciate the sheer honesty of that offhand remark.
I concur,..you're videos are Very enjoyable.
If anyone was expecting the usual carny show blow hards, they really came to the wrong place. This is a wonderful chanel. Keeep it up, of course you will, its clear its in your personality.
@@micstica Count me in, too. I wish Mike was an uncle of mine---and I do have uncles that are good, kind men.
I agree
I don't know why but it is just so relaxing for me to listen to your voice like we're just sitting around drinking coffee and talking about guns and I surely appreciate you.
Hi Britt - I'm with you; I just love talking guns and all things. Hope to meet you. Have a fine weekend.
I find solitude in your calm video’s after seeing other ragged hyped up youtubers 🖐
I'm so glad Mac. I wish you all the best.
Yeah watching this channel does not give me stomache aches like many. I just cant see it. This channel is great i do love it!
Well said !!!
Sooooo true.
I have a Mark V in .300 with a Schmitt + Bender scope. I've had it since '84. It is the finest hunting rifle I have ever seen.
@USOG , you have a fantastic channel. don't think we don't enjoy it. we watch it for a reason.
On the ragged edge of being watchable, haha. I look forward to your videos every week! I just wish you had more time and could post more frequently! Another great video as always! The insight that you provide is extremely valuable and greatly appreciated!
Your videos are wonderfully entertaining and informative. Your calm and gracious demeanor makes them special and your presentations allow us gun enthusiasts to see rare and unusual firearms we don't get to see everyday.
Au contraire, I love the no frills nature of your material. No puffery, just great information.
Really enjoy your work. Love the combined knowledge and humility. We need more people like you out there. Thank you for sharing with us.
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
Great video and information about the mighty Weatherby... thanks for sharing!
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.
Hi The Bleeb - Great rifle and cartridge - the 340 in the Mark V is just about unstoppable. Everything falls down.
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 ++ ??
I would be very interested in a video about ballistics. Your videos are far from just watchable. I always look forward to them.
I second that request..... twice!
Love your videos. Can you do a video on the 300 Norma? ✌️👍
Always a pleasure watching your videos, thank you for posting them.
Always enjoyable and informative firearms videos by you. Your 'style', laid back and 'folksy' (in my view) are just right to keep us viewers paying attention AND learning things we just did NOT know, on our own. Keep up the GREAT work!
No need to apologize. I can't get enough of your channel. Really informative and you show some amazing firearms.
Your videos, your fine firearm collection and your knowledge of each are much appreciated sir. Thank you for the effort of producing your content.
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.
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!
I have been watching your channel for a couple of months and really enjoy watching, very informative.
I collect a few military guns now and again. I’m 70 years now so I’m slowing down.
Great video’s.
Hi Mike. Interesting as always. I like that story of the Banknote, it brings all sorts of thoughts to mind. In those days, it would have had a lot more value than today I would think. Till next time, keep safe.
Your videos are very informative and interesting . Always enjoy watching and learning.
Your vids are as enjoyable as can be,, nothing ragged edged to be afraid of 👍🏽
Excellent video as always!!! I almost bought a 300 Weatherby magnum Mk V and I still don’t know why I didn’t do it. They are beautiful and so accurate. Roy Weatherby was a very innovative man, just as John Browning and Mr. Thompson. They were trend setters! I look forward to your videos, Mike! Thank you!!!
Sir you are so humble you obviously could be arrogant with your collection and your knowledge but you are humble at every turn, you are a good man. I always finding another video you have made and I feel like I just had a short class with a very patient professor. Thank you for your being here to help all of us who watch learn things we could hear no place else.
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!
This is actually 1 of my fav gun channels, prob my most watched....
Thank you, Sir, for the nice informative videos. I find myself able to hold otherwise impossible conversations with folks about certain rifles without always realizing where I remembered the information you share. In a world that values ignorance you are a real treasure.
Thank you GR - I am so grateful to have you here and to be able to share a few things that I know. God Bless.
I really enjoyed this video. Thank you for making and sharing it!
I really enjoyed the video and I was very happy to see two complete Weatherby Rifles.
Just watched your piece on the Westherby . I enjoyed it greatly . I am a new fan of yours and look forward to more informative and refreshing outlook on the subject . Keep up the good work !
One of my `dream`rifles is a Weatherby, so therefore I enjoyed this video a lot.
I especially got a good laugh ( and I did, out loud ) when you talked about the magazine conversion there at the 11:42 mark,...`...or if you miss,...a lot ` You are a true `diplomat Sir ,`I feel the same way about these excessive capacity magazines. Thanks for lifting my spirits.
I'd like to say I certainly enjoy your videos,and also want to day that you sir are a very kind ,humble and classy person.Thanks for what you do.
What a great video on Weatherby. Had read so much about them on the web but this video clips sums it all up. Great Going Mike 👍
Great video you are very watchable haha, and thank you for covering some of the Weatherby range, its always great to hear a professional say something nice about a firearm one bought as a novice. I actually guessed the mystery round that you showed but i am watching from Adelaide Australia and as you mentioned they were common. We used to own a ex English Navy .310 cadet.
This channel is a treasure trove of underrated brands. Keep making videos I watch them all!
Thank you Steel&Cider - I need all the help I can get : )
Love my Weatherby 270 Mag and Mauser 98 25-06 so much, my wife left me. Now all I do is hunt. Life is good. Lovin' this video!!!
Thank you Sarge! Hunting is the way - and a 25-06 Mauser is a dear rifle : )
.270 Wby Mags are frickin powerhouses. Been the number one choice for a deer gun in my family for 70+ years. I took an 8 point last week with a .270 Wby Mag.
Another Great Video. Looking forward to the next one!
always worth watching your videos. thank you.
Just found your show this evening,loving it,thankyou.
I'm so busy looking at the guns and listening to you I never even noticed that you have a tremmer !!!
GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN!
You are anything but "the ragged edge of watchable." Your whole presentation is this very comfortable, down home style that friends and colleagues have when they have a shared interest or hobby. It is particularly relaxing watching your videos after a long stressful day. Don't change a thing.
Thank you Matt. A note such as you sent means a lot to me.
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.
The strength of the action of the Weatherby’s is astounding & often overlooked. Great Video 👍
African Professional Hunters disagree. I've heard countless stories from the senior members of my local ranges when I've asking about an Africa hunt, that most PH's won't let you use a Weatherby because of how weak they are.
Capable of 200,000 PSI is pretty damn astounding to me.
The MK V 9 lug action is a weak action? Lmao remind me not to ask your professional hunter friends anything firearm related!
@@uncleremus5046 it's not the lugs that fail. It's the firing pin.
@@adamkadir3803 what stress is the firing pin under? NEVER have heard of a Weatherby firing pin breaking. EVER.
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.
They are so fine; and your son's - even more meaningful. Guns seem to be one of the few things that last, are useful and carry memories that most things don't. Thanks for writing.
Terrific video!! Great knowledge and wisdom😊
I really enjoy the commentary. Especially the humour 👍
"I'm on the ragged edge of watchable... " You're Killing me. Your videos are very well done.
Your knowledge and presentation is very precise and articulate which makes you a treasure.
Thank you for sharing your collection and knowledge.
You are so educated, enthusiastic and well-rounded as a person. I can sense your humility and experience in life. Good job on a life well done my dear Sir.
Your channel and content are fantastic, keep it up.
Your videos are very informative keep up the good work.
Another great video. I own a Weatherby 300 magnum. Beautiful piece of work.
By far my favorite you tube gun discussion ! You have a humble way about you that's not common in the world we live in . Thank you sir .
Thank you Chuck. All the best to you and yours for the holiday season.
$150 for a '98 mauser? You can barely find an action for that anymore.Good deal.
I enjoyed this video as I have enjoyed many of your others. I find your approach on the various topics to be a deep look into the guns so they can be appreciated for what they are. They are not only tools used to fire a projectile at a target, though they surely are that, they are also well thought engineering, and trial and error, and human creativity. Your videos help to show all of that and more. Thank-you.
Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad you're on the channel - I have much to share and really enjoy, actually, everything.
Sir, this is the first video of yours that I have watched and I subscribed immediately to your channel. The quality of what you did and your descriptive abilities are unique. Keep up the excellent work!
Thank you for your kind words and support.
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.
Hi Stephen - Thank you; I love the story - hunting in Russia from Alaska. Maybe there are Russians hunting in Alaska as well. : ) All the best to you.
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 really doubt the 6.5mm prc will match the big bad .257 wby mag, another channel , reloading weatherby, achieved 101 gr barnes@ 3800 fps !!!! max loads of course..... he also had another load with 92 gr berger @ 3866 fps!!!
I bought a Weatherby Mk V after watching your first Weatherby video. Great video.
340 Wby and .240wby are perhaps the greatest weatherby's and most overlooked.
I like your delivery. You are genuine and thank you for sharing your information and your opinions
Thank you Bob. I'm glad you're here and took the time to write.
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.
@@handle--729
Do you mind to share with us your knowledge or experience about bad Vanguard?!
@@handle--729 WOW! Well that's great!
Thanks for your reply!
@@handle--729 My Winchester XPR in 300wsm shoots MOA also. I've shot it out to 500 yards. My handloads with hornady 178eldx bullets shoot well. It's not bad for a rifle I found on sale for $275.
@@handle--729 HOWA 1500 almost is exactly the same Vanguard but 2/3 price. I choose HOWA 1500
Are you saying that the vanguard is better than the mark V I only look for accuracy when I buy a rifle because I often compete in matches.
One of my earliest longings too! I can totally relate, "when I was young and had no money and no guns". I think I still have my 1971 Weatherby catalog with the original drool marks!
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.
Love your show. Very interesting and educational. God bless you
Truly appreciate your videos.
I see you threw in my beloved, beaten old $100 Mauser. 🙂
Have to say Ive never run across Wetherbys. They're rare around here, or no one ever sells them.
And no need to apologize for the tremor! I, like many others, was worried you had Parkinson's, but I doubt anyone is actually bothered by it.
Oh yeah, and you got about 2000 views in about an hour according to what I see, so I guess your videos are better than you think.
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.
Was it Mick Smith's Gun shop? Another great video and your videos are all well appreciated by all who watch them. Thanks for sharing!
: ) It was Lawrence Ordnance - I remembered from viewers on the channel. What a great shop and great people! I'm going to get over the great waters again somehow. If you go there and if they have not changed things much - note the "gun fragrance" in that shop - it should be bottled - something like Rangoon Oil and arsenal but with a twist. I mentioned it to another customer at the time and he said in that wonderful Australian way "I do mate; but we're both nuts." 😂 Take care.
Thanks for sharing these wonderful Weatherlyby rifles with us. What's not to love about them.
Your videos are very watchable sir, dont cut yourself short!! I learn alot from your videos. You are very knowledgeable. I'd like to ask what you may know on the savage 170. I've recently purchased one and cant seem to find much information about the rifle. Anyway, keep up the great work and thank you
Very cool video. Explained very nicely.
Your tremor doesn’t bother me. I love your presentation of videos and honesty concerning your knowledge and love for firearms. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Wade - the latest medication seems to be working but it makes me sleepy hahaha. Glad you're on the channel.
Sir your Trimble doesn’t bother anybody if it does to bad !!!!! You’re doing a fabulous job keep up the good work much appreciated!!!!!!
I’d love to see your vault, or even just how you keep all you ammo organized. :)
You are remarkably modest and polite.
Hi FB, Thank you. For ammo I have steel filing cabinets - just like for an office - but no papers - just ammo. The guns are in several vaults - it isn't as bad as it might seem : )
Oh, man, a great rifle and including looks too. That Martini Cadet, an attractive looking gun, receiver especially. But that lever, whew, too long looking but must be important for proper operation of the action. You present a lot of really interesting info along with the stories to go along with it all. Great stuff, thanks a lot.
Another great video. Thanks.
Thank you. I’ve always been fascinated with Weatherby rifles. The first one I bought, over 40 years ago, is a 22 LR. It’s magazine fed. It’s finicky, but that’s ok. It’s a Weatherby. I also have a 257 Accumark.
Great video as always.
That banknote looked like it was signed. Really cool finding things like that! Every used firearm has a story.
This popped up in my feed and I know I'm a little late I'm a gun collector myself but I'm enjoying your video
I bought.270 W Mag 30 some yrs ago. Very accurate & powerful rifle.
Thanks for video, I thought it was great !!
I have one of those fine rifles. It's a left hand , 240 mark five. It still shoots as good as it did in 1971 when it was new. Someone told me once it was no good for deer, lol. Best deer rifle I ve ever had, and I ve had many.
Love your videos sir.
Really enjoy your videos, worked for a gunsmith as a youth, been hooked on collecting ever since. I have an old 1903A3 all original...cleaning it I had the butt pkaye off, found a peice of paper folded up neatly and placed on the stock was a person's name and address....looked up the person he had passed away several years prior to me purchasing the weapon. Best regards Shoe in SW Oregon.
Kind sir, I always thoroughly enjoy your videos, which I find quite more than “barely watchable”! Otherwise, your tremor is just another thing that makes you, you. I for one, admire you. Thanks for another great video.
Thank you Magnum Cipher; I wish everyone was like you.
I had a weatherby vanguard 300 mag one time. Great rifle
LOL!! Extended mags are for the guy that misses a lot. They are shinny. Love your vids and also love to see your collection grow you will soon need a museum room added on your house lol.
Enjoy your videos, thanks. Always remember my grandpa talking about them but he didnt have the money. l got a pretty good deal on a used custom deluxe made in japan 7mm wby. Always liked the thought of a .257
Is that a circuit judge behind your head? Looks so beautiful. Thanks for another video. As always great quality.
Love your videos and your love for Weatherbys. I have a Weatherby vanguard and love it in 243. You have an awesome collection of rifles I’m also passionate about. You are lucky to live in a country that allows you to what you do. You must have jumped through some hoops to buy anything firearm related in Australia. Our licensing system is a joke here. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Greetings from Australia Sir. 👍🇦🇺
Wonderful and interesting...as usual.
Keep up the great work!
very nicely done sir.....very informative
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.
You sir are a scholar and a gentleman when I was seven years old in 1969 my dad's best friend moved back to alabama from Alaska where he had been working as a mine engineer he had a weatherby rifle he had bought to hunt moose and a couple of browning shotguns i spent many hours just standing in front of his gun cabinet dreaming of the day when i could have my own guns i never did end up with any that pretty but i probably wouldn't be who i am if i hadn't seen that first weatherby i really enjoy your videos thank you very much for your time and effort
Thank you Scott. Notes such as yours give that good feeling and I'm inspired to do more. I'm glad your dad had such a best friend and that you stood by that cabinet - and so much flowed from there. I'll keep going and truly appreciate your kind words. God Bless.
Love your videos!
I for one could not imagine why this fine gentleman could possibly have haters . He has probably forgot more about guns than most people know about them , with that being said you sir are a pleasure to watch and to learn from .
Thank you Robert - it's all okay : )
Great video sir I learned something new today die to your video.keep up the good work and God bless
