As a young man, in the late 1940's, Roy Weatherby developed an insatiable interest in ballistics and rifle performance. At a time when many firearms 'experts' were promoting large bullets traveling at slow speeds, Roy was experimenting with lighter weight bullets traveling at extremely high velocities. It was his belief that this combination was ideal in creating the hydrostatic shock needed to kill animals quickly and humanely. In Roy's mind, there was no other way: speed kills - period.

Roy's initial work began with developing his high powered, magnum cartridges. He developed the .220 Rocket (based on the .220 Swift), and the first Weatherby Magnums - .257, .270 and .300 (based on the .300 H&H Mag.). Camera and microphone access iphone. From his small operation in South Gate, California, Roy was building his own rifles on virtually any actions he could obtain (FN Mauser, Schultz & Larsen and Mathieus to name a few), as well as offering to rechamber rifles for his newly designed magnum calibers.

Soon, his high powered cartridges began to draw the attention of noted gun writers Jack O'Connor, Elmer Keith and influentials such as Sheldon Coleman (of Coleman Company fame). Over the years, Roy would have many 'friendly arguments,' often conducted through printed letters and rebuttals in magazines, with the likes of O'Connor, Keith and other firearms experts on the merits of his high velocity cartridge
and rifles.

By the mid to late 1950's Weatherby had expanded his line of magnum cartridges to include the .378 Weatherby Magnum (which replaced the .375 Weatherby Magnum) and the .460 (the world's most powerful cartridge, delivering nearly four tons of muzzle energy). At that time, he was producing his rifles on Belgian FN Mauser and French Brevex Magnum Mauser actions. Later, in 1957, he would develop a new action - originally designated the Model 58 (later to become the legendary Mark V) - specifically designed to handle the magnum loads of his increasingly popular cartridges.

WEATHERBY

Founded by Roy Weatherby in 1945 in South Gate, California, the original rifles were custom guns made to order on Mauser actions. In 1956, he contracted with both Sako and Schultz & Larsen to manufacture complete rifles, while he continued to make custom guns in California. In 1958, Weatherby introduced his Mark V action, which was designed to handle the high pressures of his proprietary cartridges. Mark V action was made in U.S., with rifles assembled and finished at Weatherby shop in South Gate. Mark V featured a very modern stock design with glossy finish, high comb for scope use and contrasting grip and fore-end caps. Beginning in 1959, rifles were made in what was then West Germany. In 1972, production was moved to Japan, where rifles were made until 1995. Since that year, Weatherby rifles have been made in the U.S. Barreled actions for Mark V were made by ATEK in Brainerd, Minnesota. Mark V rifles are currently made in Sheridan, Wyoming. The action for Vanguard is made by Howa in Japan. For many years, Weatherby shotguns were made in Japan or Italy. Current models are made in Turkey. The family-run firm is currently run by Adam Weatherby, the 3rd generation Weatherby at the helm. Weatherby moved operations from Paso Robles, California, to Sheridan, Wyoming, in 2019. As of April 2019, Weatherby relocated its manufacturing and business operations to Sheridan, Wyoming.
