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.

You’re gonna love that 257! The ammo is expensive as hell but it’s a smoking cartridge.

Love the 25cal. Dad's deer rifle was a 25.06 and it was a laser in his hands. Enjoy that 257 looks amazing

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!

Soo glad to see this. Not enough about the .257 weatherby. Amazed you even found ammo in a store.

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.

Beautiful when a plan comes together.

It’s so much fun to watch WhoTeeWho have fun with a rifle! This man truly appreciates the a Rifle from.22 and up the fun never ends ! Now, will WhoTeeWho execute some milk 🥛 jugs!

😍😍😍 Awesome ! Looking forward to seeing it out on the range !

That’s is a sweet looking rifle, can’t wait to see the sighting in video 👍🏼

Now that's a caliber that is worth reloading! Factory rounds are $$$. Awesome rifle and cartridge!

Congratulations!!!! 🎉🎊🥳👍🥳can't wait to see your groups.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Always wanted a 257 Weatherby! Going to buy a deluxe custom when I am able. Can’t wait for a review!

Very Nice ! Look foward to the videos of it ! Congratulations on the find.

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.

Love my 257 Weatherby! Most accurate rifle I own. I load my own... 101 gr Barnes LRX at 3800 FPS! Excited to see your upcoming videos on it!

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 KZfaq some of my videos of a property project.

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.

Great choice Wootee, I've never shot one either but I've been reading great things about them for 50 years!

Bet that rig is a LAZER BEEM! Super Super happy for you Boss💯 can’t wait 💥💥💥

Nice rifle and caliber glad you found one looks that nice 😮

You get the same look in your eyes as me when I get a new boom stick! 😂 So… did you put it next to the bed that night you bought it home? Awesome new toy .. congratulations! 👍🏻

Beautiful rig brother! Man, that is a cruiser!!!!

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!

That's awesome whootee! Happy for ya. Should be a tack driver.

So happy for you adam !! Innterested to see the tests

I love my 257 Weatherby Mag, easy on the shoulder and fun to shoot. I have a Vanguard and put a Zeiss Conquest V4 3-12 X 56 on it. Took a nice 8 point whitetail with it last year in East Texas using the Nosler 115gr Accubond ammo. Would love to get a chance to hunt somewhere that would allow me to try some longer shots, but I'm not able physically to get around so well anymore. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine.

Cool Adam can't hardly wait to see the groups that thing shoots

I love it! I myself have a .257 weatherby in a 24 inch stainless vanguard. I’ve wanted one since I was a kid haha. I like it very much: lighter recoil than my .270, flatter shooting than my .243, energy on par with a .30-06…what’s not to love? I do handload, I’d never pay what they ask for factory ammo in any weatherby cartridge. Some loads I’ve worked up so far are the hammer hunter 75 grain at a chronographed 4170 feet per second with rl17, the 100 Nosler ballisti Tip at 3700 fps and the 100 Barnes tsx at 3500 fps, both with 7828. I treat all my rifle bores and bullets with hexagonal boron nitride. Still have some 90 grain absolute hammers and 115 grain Berger vlds to play with. Congrats on picking a winner.

Awesome... I have a 300 Wby. Love it and hand load for it. I have a Remington 700 25-06 stainless in a mountain stock with removable mag for all the critters on the prairies and mountains here in Alberta. Congrats on the fine purchase of that ultimate quarter bore slayer. Cheers.

Great looking gun! My grandson has a weatherby in that caliber. It is a great shooter!

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 👍🏻

The .257 mag is a classic American cartridge. If your a reloader, cases are easy to make from 7mm REM. Mag cases. I have loaded it down to 25/06 velocities and now shooting a 92 grain Hammer bullets at 3700 fps. Just be mindful of barrel life if you shoot a lot of 3600-3700 fps rounds. Who-to Who is a good rifleman and will find a place in his safe always for the .257 Weatherby mag.

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.

If you reload, the 120 g Partition is equally effective on deer AND elk. Bang flop. You don’t need to go max load, either. Even a mild load works very well, and the 2 mule deer I’ve seen taken had a very normal entrance and exit wound. No jelly.

THIS…has gotta be my favorite gun channel on KZfaq!!! Love everything you put out there for our entertainment WHO_TEE_WHO and congrats on the freaking badass new rifle!!

Got to love a new rifle. I just bought a new bergara in 7mm PRC. So excited for you

Yup Love the 257 Bee! One of my favorites. I have every Bee caliber.

Fantastic rifle can't wait to see you making your own loads for this great rifle

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!

Congrats!!!!! Im so happy for you .

Looks like an awesome cartridge, enjoy the new riffle. At my age, I just chase the squirrels around the tree. My Henry 410 single shot, or my Henry Frontier 22 works fine for me. Perhaps I am entering my second childhood, but I seem to be happy just being in the woods & looking forward to enjoying some home cooked stew.

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!

Roy's favorite and absolutely one of my favorite too. I reacted the same as you when I finally got mine!!

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!

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. 😉

Wow. That’s really cool. Hope you have fun with your shooting it.

I bought a 340 Wby back in 1991. The smoothest action I have ever come across. It's a Mark V with the best wood and finest bluing. Taken lots of critters with it. Still have it today although it doesn't get used much.

I recently bought a Weatherby Vanguard and had the options of 257 WB and 243…I went with 243 because I wasn’t familiar…after much research I wish I would have got the 257 instead

I enjoy your passion for the Weather.

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 🤠💯🇺🇸

Keep ‘em coming!!!

I loved my 224 weatherby Mag. great for long range plinking.

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

Looks like a great rifle. Congrats! I am thinking of this rifle in 7 PRC as my next addition to the collection. Enjoy.

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.

That’s a good caliber and rifle. Thanks for sharing. 👍

Love that cartridge been wanting one of them for years great gun I'm jealous now lol your great watch all your videos keep up the great work and one day will get one and we will go testing with was in taulavers pawn like 2 weeks ago

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.

That's a sweet looking slinger, love the fluted barrel, very nice pick up mate cheers Yogi 👍

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!!

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.

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!

Man can’t wait for the follow up videos I’ve been waiting one for ever

You remind me when I got my weatherby back in 1980 I was super excited too.

Great caliber Adam! My buddy has one, in the Wby. Vangard, and it’s 1/2 MOA all day. Smoked a doe in Miss. at 400 yds., DRT. Lazer flat shooting too! Enjoy!

I’ve always wanted a 264 win mag or a 270 weatherly mag.

Looks like a sweet setup❤

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.

Sweet new bing bang, can't wait to see it in action! And I gave you, your 600th like lol. Cool video WTW!

257 Weatherby Magnum Forester micrometer die on clearance at Midway USA for 89.14 dang good deal!!!! Glad you got your dream rifle.

Wow I just picked one up as well! Can’t wait for the upcoming videos. Will be watching. Remington 700 cdl. Stainless fluted barel. Put a black hound on it I got from the sale you recommended some months ago.

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......

Looking forward to your video's. It's kind of late or early when I'm typing this so hope it makes sense. It kind of resembles magnum cartridges maybe toss on of those in your comparison video's. Keep up the good work

I have the Weatherby Vanguard chambered in .223 with a Boyd's stock and man is it a good shooter. Topped with a Primary Arms 4-14. Perfect for plinking steel.

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.

Just retired and moved to Wyoming. Dusting off my Weatherby Vanguard in 25-06 which I got as a HS Graduation gift in ‘76. Perfect for Antelope.

That is exactly the caliber and the weatherby rifle with a sunday car kind of wood stock with super polished blueing ahh....oh yeah can't wait for the rest, T

My Dad carried a .257 Roberts for years it was his favorite deer rifle. I know it's not in the same category as the .257 WM, but you just don't hear much about the .257's, at least where I live. I have it now and I just don't shoot it anymore. My .243 does just fine with the smaller Blacktail deer we have here.

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!

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!

So many bing-bangs, so little time! Thanks for showing us your new boolot slanger. 👍🏼

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

looking forward to seeing these videos!!!

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!

Love your videos always interesting and personal 💪😎

Nice! Can't wait to see how it shoots.

I have had great success with the 257 WBY MAG. Mine shoots lights out with the 115gr. Nosler Ballistic Tip. I have taken deer and antelope all the way up to 650 yards. Super flat trayectory!

It is a shame they didn't do a 1:7.5 twist barrel for the heavy 257 cal bullets Berger, Hammer, and Hornady have now.

I'm a massive Quarter Bore fan. My uncle almost always carries his 257 Weatherby and I already have a 700 Long Range 25-06 along with a 70 Super Shadow 25 WSSM. Planning to build a "light weight" long range oriented 257 for a Wyoming Pronghorn hunt in 2025 and have been between 25-06 AI, 257 Weatherby, and 25 Pronghorn (25 WSM). I wish they would have made the 307 with a slightly faster twist to shoot the 130+ pills that are finally on the market because it would make life a lot easier.

Looks like a sweet rig and cartridge, I love my old Wby Vanguard in 300. I noticed that they went with 300 Win instead of their own 300 Wby Mag.

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 share your interest in the 307, love the tooless bolt take down and the fit and feel of the stock

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).

My 257wby is my favorite. I have a few other wby rifles but the .257 is the ultimate deer cartridge
