Others chambered for Weatherby cartridges?

[jski]

Are there manufacturers, other than Weatherby, that offer rifles chambered for Weatherby cartridges?

 

[LoonWulf]

Remington, and Winchester have both done some i think, tho not as standard offerings. Most custom and semi custom guns can be had in the Weatherbys, but im not sure which or how many other over the counter rifles were or are chambered for them.
The .300s and larger require .375 length action. The .240, .257, and 7mms, can be chambered in standard/long action so those might be more common to find in other manufacturers guns.

Lots of makers offer weatherby chamberings. Not to be insulting but have you checked out the Vanguard or the Howa?

 

[LoonWulf]

While Vanguards and howa 1500s are basically the same rifles, i dont think Howa actually catalogs the Weatherbys.

Howa manufactures the Vanguard barrels and actions for Weatherby.

Savage chambered the .300Weatherby in the M110 in 2001-2002.

Back in the 90's, I got an early Sako TRG-S in 300 Weatherby.

Remember... some of the "other" brand rifle manufacturers may not use the same amount of bullet "freebore" when the chamber is cut.... if the "freebore" is shorter then Weatherby factory rifles, you might have pressure issues.

Freebore on various Weatherby rifles

What is the throat length (free bore) on your Weatherby rifles chambered for Weatherby magnum calibers?
Cartridge Throat length (free bore)
224 Weatherby Magnum .162
240 Weatherby Magnum .169
257 Weatherby Magnum .378
6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum .2037
270 Weatherby Magnum .378
7MM Weatherby Magnum .378
300 Weatherby Magnum .361
340 Weatherby Magnum .373
375 Weatherby Magnum .373
378 Weatherby Magnum .756
416 Weatherby Magnum .239
460 Weatherby Magnum .756
30-378 Weatherby Magnum .361
338-378 Weatherby Magnum .361


You can see they use some pretty deep throats.

Parker-Ballard made quite a number of them......

Slightly off topic, in the opposite direction..... but in 1970, while in the Army, I bought a Weatherby Varmintmaster chambered in 22-250. For $204!!! The Redfield Widefield 3X9 scope was another $79. I think Weatherby only did non-Weatherby chamberings for a short time.

Like a moron, I sold it off over forty years ago.

I believe Ruger made a few #1 rifles in
.257, .270 and .300 Weatherby mags.

I hunted with a guy who had a M700 Stainless/synthetic in 300 Weatherby. I don't think it was a custom rifle but not 100% sure.

Some time ago a neighbor tried to sell me one of those, it was a factory offering...

There's NO WAY I wanted to put up with the muzzle blast and recoil of that cartridge, so I turned him down...

Nice rifle though...

I believe Remington offers one of their models in 300 wby mag.

I have a Remington 700 that came from the factory in 257 Weatherby. That's the reason I bought it.
