Weatherby XXII

[LANIII]

Beautiful gun. Lousy accuracy. Great to look at, don't like shooting it because of the accuracy limitations. Recommendations for a medium weight barrel. Want to have it threaded into the receiver. ANY help for the trigger would be appreciated.

Is the the bolt gun made with anschutz action, or the semi auto

 

[theallcineyes]

Yes, I own several.

The switch does convert from single shot to semi-auto. The rifles were made in Italy or Japan other than a very, very few made in the US by Mossberg (never seen one). Generally they are extremely accurate, and a lot of fun to shoot.

Price seems to be dependent on where they were made (Italy > Japan) and the character of the wood.

There is a tube fed version. I owned one, briefly, but the USPS broke the stock on it before I received it, and I never took possession. It was the most gorgeous wood on any I have seen.

Lan , I'm guessing you're inquiring about the Bolt Action , but either way .....you might try asking on rimfirecentral.com . I have never heard of Accuracy problems with the Anschutz Actioned Weatherby , but have never shot one . I have shot plenty of the Italian and Japanese Semi-autos and was always satisfied with the Accuracy for Plinking . BTW Eyes ..... I came across a NIB US made Semi in a cut-rate Discount Store many years ago . It was there for over a year . When I first looked at it , I said to the Salesman : " Gee , I never knew that some of these were made in the US " . Some Magazine came out with an Article on the Weatherby XXII and mentioned that only a few hundred were made in the US . I RAN down to the Store and guess what ? Someone beat me to it !
