While building a lightweight, accurate production rifle sounds like a no-brainer, it's often easier said than done. That's why Digital Managing Editor Justin McDaniel was intrigued when Weatherby announced its new Mark V Ultra Lightweight RC.
Weatherby has partnered with Outdoor Women Unlimited (OWU) and its official publication, BLAZE Magazine, to give away a WBY-X Blaze rifle to a current OWU member.
Weatherby has launched round two of its "WeAreWeatherby" sweepstakes, which gives fans a chance to select their favorite new Team Weatherby ad—and automatically be entered for a chance to win a Vanguard Series 2 Synthetic in the process.
It used to be if you wanted a lightweight rifle you had to opt for open sights or a very compact scope. Weatherby said, “Not if you want to hunt with us.”
We don't know whether the "Black Reaper" finish on the Weatherby X PA-08 shotgun shown below will help stand down a burglar or not, but hey, it can't hurt. Essentially, to create the Weatherby X line of guns, the company took several of its best-selling firearms and slapped on edgy, attention-grabbing, dipped finishes. The line is equally represented by home defense and hunting firearms, and also includes several youth models.
