Weatherby to offer DBM

[blargon]

For lovers of the detachable magazines, Weatherby will have them out in the new year. Yes they are plastic...

My understanding is that these will retro-fit any Weatherby Vanguard rifle, which might include Howa...

The Smith & Wesson 1700LS had that detachable box,...about time they brought it back.

I have a detachable magazine on my Mossberg 1550 wonder if this new system will work on it would be nice to shed 1/2 lb

Looks like a completely different design than the older Howa/Mossberg/Smith & Wesson. This new one is straight feed that only holds 3 rounds.

 

[Crankbender]

To me it looks very similar to a T3 mag.

now all they need is a decent trigger and it will be competition w/ Tikka in the econo class guns.

Finally, time to put a Weatherby in my gunsafe. Can't wait to get one with a clip, instead of the floorplate.

Not sure yet. Might just be a matter of buying the new mag and triggerguard to fit. Says it will be available as an accessory.

If they ever come up with a retrofitable one for the MK-V, I'd be interested.

It's also only for 25-06, 270, 30-06. Bummer, and it looks like a Tikka one to me.

Wss price T3 779.95 vanguard 529.95 so better trigger and up the price by $250.00 ????????????

 

[everett]

A timney trigger at least when I bought mine was $125 or you can adjust the stock trigger on the howa models down to 4lb not sure about the weatherby.
Personaly think the weatherby/howa is way nicer rifle than the tikka.

Likely they will add short actions next year...

Here's the wood/blued model...

I for one would like to know where I could get a trigger guard for a Mossberg 1550....hens teeth.

Try one for a Vanguard, they should be fairly close. - dan
