Description
Offered is one of the earliest examples of Roy Weatherby's custom rifles. It utilized the early pre-J.P. Sauer FN action and is stamped "Weatherby South Gate, Calif.". Barrel is stamped ".257 Roberts" and was manufactured without sights. Barre and frame are done in the high polish deep, rich blue. Cannot find a visible serial number. This rifle is especially rare due to the use of a standard .257 Roberts versus a special Weatherby cartridge. The stock design shows typical Weatherby flare with rakish comb and flared pistol grip with contrasting black cap, white diamond, and black forend. Sports sling eyes and early Weatherby red waffle pad. The Claro-walnut stock is very dark with beautiful grain and does show some finish loss. 90% original high polish blue on floorplate and trigger guard with some age freckling. 85-90% original blue on barrel and frame. Topped with a Bausch & Lomb 2.5x8 scope. The adjustments of the scope are in the base and are also Bausch & Lomb. Perfect action and strong, near mint bore. Beautiful, early, rare custom Weatherby rifle. Serial Number-NSN; Manufacturer-Weatherby; Model-Bolt Action; Caliber-.257 Roberts; Barrel Length-24"; FFL Status-Curio & Relic;
