Who It’s For

This rifle is for the collector who appreciates fine wood and metalwork but demands modern ballistics and modularity. It suits the hunter who wants a lightweight, flat-shooting 6.5 PRC for mountain or plains game. It also appeals to the enthusiast who values aftermarket compatibility—someone who may want to swap a Timney trigger or add a rail without compromising the rifle’s soul.

Pros / Cons

• Pros: Classic walnut stock with rosewood accents; factory brake tames 6.5 PRC recoil; TriggerTech trigger out of the box; Cerakote finish for durability; aftermarket-friendly action.
• Cons: The fancy walnut stock adds weight compared to synthetic stocks—per Weatherby specs, the rifle tips the scales at about 7.5 lbs unloaded, which some mountain hunters may find a touch heavy for all-day carries.
