I stop by Weatherby Factory Today.

[Desert Fox]

My wife and I was on our way home from a weekend getaway in San Francisco. We were passing through Paso Robles, so I decided to visit the Weatherby Factory. Enjoy the pictures guys.

Here's the man.

The Mauser Action that Roy use before he came up with the MK-5

The MK-5 Cut away

The 100,000 Weatherby presented to Roy by Howa. Not sure what chambering but I assumed 300 Weatherby.

Stool made from Elephants paw

The cartridge line-up from 224 to 460 Weatherby. Yeah that's a Weatherby revolver.

Awesome pictures Rommel. Looks like a great day. I've never owned a proper MKV but man they are some really nice rifles! Scotty

Very cool Desert Fox! I`d love to go check that place out for myself one day. The pic of the elephant paw sure puts their size into perspective. Thanks for sharing the pic`s.

Greg, the 257 behind on the second rack from the left of me almost did. I really have to control myself in my wife's presence.

Thanks for sharing the photos & story of your trip!

Was lucky enough to meet Roy Weatherby in about 1975 or so in Sacramento. Also visited the old Southgate shop (don't know if it still exists) in the 1980's. Dad bought a new Athena over & under shotgun. Beautiful piece of craftsmanship. He still has it, and it's still beautiful, many pheasants later.

Here's one for Roy Weatherby!
