Note the wood inlays in the fancy grade Weatherby's stock, plus a few other custom touches on the bolt, etc. Things that seem to be not available from the custom shop now.

Excellent blend of information. I love the safety talk at the end. Modern sportsman need to take note, education is the key to growing our wonderful shooting sports and conservation efforts.

Imagine a 30-378 in the hands of roy

The B.S rolled as much back then as today...lol

Poor Roy, he must've been deaf

I have a weatherby from South Gate California

Forgive me folks, I'm sure Roy is more qualified than I am but are we sure that the 300 Weatherby Magnum or even .340 Weatherby magnum can drop ANY animal in ONE shot no matter where you hit? I've seen footage of hunting elk, they're tough animals.

All that bling later became known as California Rifles.

after the shooting, he said thank you Mr. Weatherby. WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU.

A piece of history, pretty cool!!!

"... most powerful rifle ever."

How times have changed !

Cool nostalgic video.

That was cool...definately old school and thats a good thing

What a great Weapon in 270 an the great 300 mag.

I love the old , dramatic review. The music and voice is so 1950s . 👍🏻🇺🇸

Love this film as much as my mark V german 300 magnum weatherby, its a beast but I love her.

Absolutely loved this video thank you so much for sharing I own a 257 Weatherby Magnum Absolutely love it

Weatherby developed together with some of the hunting friends of him some other project cartridge for Army experiements. The .300 Super was one of them , .30-378 it was called later on.

Interesting old video. It is a point of boastful local pride that I live only a few miles from where Roy Weatherby grew up in central Kansas and have known several people of his generation who grew up with him. Most, if not all of them have passed on now. One of those, a very good friend of mine, was a very successful local business man. About 1980 or so, when one of his employees was retiring, he wanted to give him something better than the usual gold watch etc. He made one phone call to Roy and voila, a brand new Mark V was shipped directly from the factory to a local gun store in time for the employees retirement celebration.
