Didn't know if anyone saw this yet or not? I believe Cabela's has them listed in their latest flyer for $399.

Here's the link to Weatherby's website with details.

It has removable spacers and also comes in calibers from .223 up to 7mm-08.

Only thing I see to be careful of the first few times is that it looks like the adjustable trigger goes from about 2# to 3.5#.

You already have:), the problem is, the adjustments aren't that good............ The best thing to do, is replace it with a Timney (like I did) or a Rifle Basix. It's a simple task, ONE Phillips head screw, and off comes the factory trigger, then replace it with a XXXXX and adjust to your liking. You MIGHT have to do some other, easy stuff, like chisel a notch in the inside of the stock, depending on the vintage of the rifle. I had to grind a tab off the safety assembly to get it to work correctly on my older rifle. It's still safe, but doesn't function as a three position safety (which my rifle wasn't set up for).

The Timney in my rifle changed it completely. The factory trigger was unusable for precision shooting, but changing it out made it a fine tool instead of a wannabe.

Heeler75,

I purchased my first Weatherby, a SUB-MOA SS in 308 Win and it does what it's billed to do....it shoots straight at 100 and 200 yards and does so with inexpensive ammunition.

I did install a Timney trigger in it but was able to shoot good groups with the factory trigger also.

Based on my experiences with this rifle I'd recommend a Weatherby.
