OVER THE LAST 73 YEARS, WE HAVE LEARNED EXACTLY WHAT PERFORMANCE AND CRAFTSMANSHIP LOOK LIKE TOGETHER.

The world around us is slowly transforming and becoming more and more automated. Machines are taking the place of what human hands have been doing for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. At Weatherby, we take pride in just how much our craftsmen touch and refine each product by hand. While we use some of the most accurate and precise equipment available, the craftsmanship and finish work is left to our dedicated and reliable gunsmiths and talented staff. In some ways, the production of our Mark V® rifles has changed; we use manufacturing equipment such as CNC machines, laser engravers, and acoustic ballistics programs to consistently produce quality products. However, every single step is overseen by a professional looking for even the most minute flaw or imperfection that millions of lines of computer code would overlook or deem acceptable.

Over the last 73 years, we have learned exactly what performance and craftsmanship look like together. It’s not a new concept; the fit and finish is just as important as the performance and function, but it does seem to be one that has been forgotten to make way for lower prices and higher margins. We think a firearm should feel even better after decades of use, not be a disposable tool that is easily replaced in just a season or two.
