Assistant Online Editor Sarah Smith Barnum recently toured the Weatherby Inc. factory to get a behind-the-scenes look at the company's operations.

Roy Weatherby’s pursuit of hyper-velocity in elegant rifles sealed his slogan. Weatherby rifles shot flat and hit hard, after all. Seventy years later, they still do.

Founded in a family garage as the country was recovering from World War II, Weatherby is the epitome of the American success story. One one, one idea and a unfaltering work ethic helped Roy Weatherby turn a hobby shop into an internationally recognized brand. As you might imagine, a lot happened in between. Here are 10 things you probably didn't know about Weatherby, Inc.

Weatherby, Inc. has announced the launch of its new "Women of Weatherby" Name Your Rifle sweepstakes. The company is looking for a name for its new rifle—which will be offered in limited calibers, and will be the industry's first rifle designed for women, by women—and it's turning to consumers for a little help.

Weatherby will deliver its first new cartridge in nearly 20 years in 2016, with the introduction of the new 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum. The impending release is already being hailed as the fastest 6.5mm production cartridge in the world.

Weatherby's latest version of the Orion is a Turkish-made, entry-level over-under shotgun that is loaded with features for a modest price.
