“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 KZfaq. Please keep up the good work and pay haters no mind.

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.

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.

I find solitude in your calm video’s after seeing other ragged hyped up youtubers 🖐

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!

@USOG , you have a fantastic channel. don't think we don't enjoy it. we watch it for a reason.

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.

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

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.

Thank you for the video. My first rifle was Weatherby mark v in 7 Wes mag with a west German zeiss scope. It was Christmas present and I was 18 yrs old. I’m over 50 now and still hunt with it. Zero issues and as accurate as it is beautiful.

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!!!

I would be very interested in a video about ballistics. Your videos are far from just watchable. I always look forward to them.

Great video and information about the mighty Weatherby... thanks for sharing!

Always a pleasure watching your videos, thank you for posting them.

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.

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.

Really enjoy your work. Love the combined knowledge and humility. We need more people like you out there. Thank you for sharing with us.

Your videos are very informative and interesting . Always enjoy watching and learning.

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!

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.

340 Wby and .240wby are perhaps the greatest weatherby's and most overlooked.

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 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'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.

I really enjoyed this video. Thank you for making and sharing it!

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.

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 !

Terrific video!! Great knowledge and wisdom😊

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 👍

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.

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!!!

$150 for a '98 mauser? You can barely find an action for that anymore.Good deal.

Just found your show this evening,loving it,thankyou.

This is actually 1 of my fav gun channels, prob my most watched....

I really enjoyed the video and I was very happy to see two complete Weatherby Rifles.

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.

This channel is a treasure trove of underrated brands. Keep making videos I watch them all!

Your vids are as enjoyable as can be,, nothing ragged edged to be afraid of 👍🏽

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 .

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?

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.

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.

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!

Mike, I don't care what anyone says, you are not a hoarder! Hoarders don't share! Thank you for sharing these great videos and your fantastic collection, I watch them over time, more than once!

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.

Your knowledge and presentation is very precise and articulate which makes you a treasure.

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.

"I'm on the ragged edge of watchable... " You're Killing me. Your videos are very well done.

Thank you for sharing your collection and knowledge.

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!!!!!!

GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN!

always worth watching your videos. thank you.

I like your delivery. You are genuine and thank you for sharing your information and your opinions

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!

Another Great Video. Looking forward to the next one!

I really enjoy the commentary. Especially the humour 👍

I bought a Weatherby Mk V after watching your first Weatherby video. Great video.

I'm so busy looking at the guns and listening to you I never even noticed that you have a tremmer !!!

Another great video. I own a Weatherby 300 magnum. Beautiful piece of work.

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.

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.

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 .

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.

Your videos are very informative keep up the good work.

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.

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!

I like this guy lol he’s very watchable. Very serious and knowledgeable, but doesn’t take himself too seriously. 👍🏽👏🏽

I bought Roy Weatherby's personal 300 Mag..... 30 years ago and I still have it.....Mark 5

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.

Few better examples of how much of society's somewhat depraved is noticing how an outstanding channel like this which highlights, history, engineering, manufacturing, art etc etc.. in the form of firearms has such a small fraction of subscribers compared to young adults with zero intelligence acting like five year olds! Keep up your Wonderfull content and demeanor it is much appreciated !! Its truly amazing how much you teach us in each video !

Your channel and content are fantastic, keep it up.

Thanks for sharing these wonderful Weatherlyby rifles with us. What's not to love about them.

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!

Very cool video. Explained very nicely.

I bought.270 W Mag 30 some yrs ago. Very accurate & powerful rifle. Thanks for video, I thought it was great !!

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. 👍🇦🇺

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.

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.

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.

"Ragged Edge", you must be kidding. Your videos are among the best on youtube. Please keep them coming. From New Zealand

Love your show. Very interesting and educational. God bless you

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.

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

Hey mate I really enjoy your channel, it’s a refreshing change from the exaggerated fake content that seems to be everywhere. Thanks again

Truly appreciate your videos.

Do a series on ballistics. That would be great. Excellent video. Weatherby is a great manufacturer. All the best.

Thank you for the video. I always enjoy your videos. I own two Weatherby Vanguard rifles.... one is in .270 win and the other is .308 win. Both of them are very accurate. Never had any trouble with either one of them. I have Leupold scopes on them. The WV .270 is my go-to rifle. I almost always grab the .270. The accuracy of this rifle is exceptional. I do not think you can find a better rifle at this price point.

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.

I’d love to see your vault, or even just how you keep all you ammo organized. :) You are remarkably modest and polite.

The strength of the action of the Weatherby’s is astounding & often overlooked. Great Video 👍

I could probably talk all day with you about weatherby rifles keep up the Great work👍🏼

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.

love your vids. i had a /300 Wheatherby ONCE. When i was young i had one. Im older now and the recoil is what made me sell it. Not sure why anyone would want or need that kind of killing power unless for dangerous game...but even then...one would think the recoil would work against you in a situation

That banknote looked like it was signed. Really cool finding things like that! Every used firearm has a story.

Thank you again for a great video. Just picked up a 6.5-300 weatherby. I brought it up only because it’s one of the newest cartridge weatherby has come out with. Looks great next to my.300 weatherby.

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.

Yet another great video. I dont own a Weatherby yet but its on my bucket list in the near future.

God bless you bro very good review I've never owned a Weatherby but I love them I may own one in the future hope you get to feeling well soon
