Weatherby Establishes Wyoming Residency, First Rifles Built in New Facility Coming Soon

At last year's SHOT Show, Weatherby announced their plan to leave gun-restrictive California and plants roots in a more welcoming state, Wyoming. This month, the company became a resident of Wyoming. The new facility is located in Sheridan, Wyoming, and the company says the first rifles to be built will be Wyoming Commemorative rifles.

In a press release, Weatherby said:

Sheridan, WY – Weatherby, Inc is nearing the final steps in the move to Sheridan, WY from Paso Robles, CA. Weatherby manufacturing will be establishing residency in new Sheridan, Wyoming facility March 1, 2019.

“When you see the words ‘Sheridan, WY’ stamped in the side of a Mark V action, it just looks right. We are excited to see the beginning of our manufacturing in Sheridan, Wyoming.”, says Adam Weatherby.

The first firearms that will be built in the new facility in Sheridan will be the new Wyoming Commemorative rifles. There will be two versions of the Wyoming Commemorative rifles, the Gold and the Silver. Both versions will be chambered in the world-famous .300 Weatherby Mag and will feature the widely recognizable “Bucking Horse and Rider” beautifully engraved on the floor plate. The Gold version will feature highly figured exhibition grade walnut and the Silver version will feature beautiful AAA walnut. Both Gold and Silver stocks will feature a custom designed mountain scene integrated into the classic fine line checkering. The receivers are highly decorated with beautiful engravings. The Gold version will also have gold and silver barrel bands and will include a custom felt lined leather case.

The Gold Commemorative has an MSRP of $10,000.00 with serial numbers starting at WY000001. The Silver Commemorative has an MSRP at $6,500.00 with serial numbers starting at WY000501.
