Thank you for the interesting bio's. Thank you for you time and effort. Please grant a favour for a older hard of hearing man: lower the nice background music a little. Thanks again!
When I was in High School I worked for a sporting goods store. In 1971 I ordered a Mark V Weatherby. I got Christmas cards from Mr. Weatherby for many years. I used my rifle this year to harvest a pretty nice whitetail buck. That's 53 years after I purchased the rifle. It still looks like new.
Never liked weatherby, too glossy.. I like oiled wood. JS
They definitely have a flash that is an acquired taste. Totally understandable!
enjoyed video, but those audio recordings are real gems. ❤
Agreed! Cool to be able to hear him speak.
The finest rifle I’ve owned The worst pump shotgun ( Patrician pump) I ever owned. You can get a lemon with everything to purchase.
Definitely have more of a history with rifles than shotguns. Some of their modern shotguns are pretty nice though.
I have the semi auto with a factory matching scope. On my sell list
Only had the chance to try the bolt-actions. Semi = not good?
I like the way Bill points the gun at Art's head ) : ?
Bill cheated with the bottle, notice how he tossed it upwards just before he drew, but still, he was a Master with the revolver.
Yeah he gave himself a second or two of advantage on that for sure.
A friend was offered a .300 on the FN Mauser action in the 1970's. He called Roy Weatherby to find out more about it. Roy jokingly said "that's a piece of **** I made in my garage". My friend hunted with this rifle for decades and it never let him down.
Haha, hilarios! Great story, thanks for sharing that!
Thanks for the quick bio on Elmer Keith. I looked forward to and read Gun Notes every month for years.
You're welcome! Those articles are great!
I have enjoyed great performance on long range deer, antelope, and elk, from my 300 Weatherby Magnum. My friends insist I carry it, claiming it brings our camp luck.
Very cool!
Great history on Roy Weatherby , I’ve always admired his quality rifles and in 1969 I bought one !
That thing is a classic now. They don't make them like that anymore!
Have two of his rifles.
Amazing!
I have done a lot of reading over the past 60 years. Mostly by hunters / outdoorsmen from both this continent and Africa. I am not saying it is true, but I have seen where other hunters state that Jack shot a hell of a lot more animals with a typewriter than with a gun.
Elmer Keith and Askins said this a lot. "Killed more animals with his IBM machine than his rifle..."
Great video, thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Great video, the piano is a bit too loud, maybe no piano😊
Noted!
The piano paired so well while showing those elegant stocks though.
@@kylestuehm5689 We thought so too... ;)
Another great video, thanks for posting 👍💪🇺🇸
Thanks for watching! Appreciate the support
Roy made a name for himself and I appreciated his innovative approach, and his guns were no doubt accurate but some of the stocks and the high polish finish, inlays, and gold plating made them gaudy and ugly to my taste. I was employed as a tool maker and machinist. In 1991 I remember the riots is Los Angeles after the Rodney King beating. A number of employees were on the roof of the shop in Southgate well armed with new rifles and lots of ammo. I recall one person I worked with was up there with a .460 Weatherby Magnum ready to take on anyone coming down the street that may of been a threat. We did not see any Cape Buffalo or armored cars that day and the rioters were at least a few blocks away. We joked about that for years. I had a 375 Weatherby and several boxes of ammo. Several of us slept on the roof in shifts for nearly a week. I remained with Weatherby until the hostilities of the Newsome regime and all the draconian laws coming down from Sacramento. I retired and moved to Nevada and the company was invited and subsequently moved to Wyoming where they were welcomed with open arms.
Fantastic story, thank you for sharing that!!
Always wanted a Wby.300 in Rem.700,push feed. The riots were in summer of 92. I lost a good friend Wally in those as he tried(foolishly?)to stop people&calling out repent.Hit of the back of the head&lingered in coma over a year.
I was also intrigued by the 375 Wby.,being of less recoil than the monster 378. Few bought those,or sold them fast after trying them.
Ok, there is a lot to unpack here. I worked for Weatherby’s as a factory gunsmith, quality control, R &D, and eventually the shop supervisor in Southgate and eventually the Atascadero, CA location. From 1983 to 1996. During the Rodney King riots of 1992 I was the shop supervisor and on site quality control. When we could see buildings starting to burn within about 1 1/2 miles from the store/factory, Ed Weatherby ordered all employees to go home until further notice. Me and 2 or 3 other shop employees assisted the store staff in pulling a number of the more expensive firearms from the store racks and stored them down in the under ground range and test fire room. That occurred in the early afternoon. Myself and 3 other shop employees volunteered to stay the night and watch the vulnerable store front which did have fairly heavy bars just inside the front showroom windows and across the entry door. Large brick planters were in front of those windows so driving a car through would not be possible. Ed Weatherby allowed us to arm ourselves with some pump shotguns from the store racks. We left the lights on so as to be very visible to anyone outside as it got darker. We did not go on the roof. No one carried a 460 or any Weatherby rifles. We stayed in the store. Later in the evening, a unit of the National Guard, about a dozen of them parked their vehicles in our parking lot. I met with the one in charge and he said he was sent because rioters were breaking into sporting goods stores and gunshops stealing firearms and they were to station at Weatherby’s. Ed gave permission to give them access to the roof. A little after midnight, a small car drive by and fired a shot towards the soldiers on the roof and threw a cheap .380 pistol from the car next to a dumpster by the restaurant next door. The soldiers did not return fire as the car drove off. It wasn’t long after that, Ed called us and told us to go home and that are safety was more important than protecting the building. So we left with the National Guard still on the roof. I had to lock the one access door to the roof and was worried the soldiers would not be able to get down. The soldier in charge laughed saying they would have no problem. I can’t remember how many days we stayed closed, but things calmed down, the store and shop were not damaged in any way and things went back to normal pretty quickly. I don’t know who you are “Ric”, but none of us were on the roof or slept on the roof. I know that Victor, Rod, perhaps someone else (maybe you) whom I can’t remember, and myself were there and stayed in the store. And I do not recall anyone hired as a “tool maker/machinist at that time. Only gunsmiths and stock makers were in the back shop. Care to refresh my memory as to where exactly you worked? All we had was the MkV room, the Shotgun room, the stock department, the tool crib, attended by 3 retired postal workers, the shipping department, the gunsmiths bench for non Weatherby firearms coming through the store, and the engineers office. Were you in the engineer’s office? You used to work for Cushman? Remind me, I’m curious.
jack was not a nice person, back in the day our wildlife association went and saw him to ask him to come give us a talk on his experiences, money was offered , he told us to get lost and he was not ever interested in talking to other hunters. We lost total respect for the man and he left and very bad test in out mouths.
That’s unfortunate to hear
Glad this came up in my feed. It’s cool to hear about the history of a family owned company.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I remember being a kid reading his and Keith Jordans articles
They all did some great work. We need more writers like them today!
Keep it up. Your bios on the old timers are great
Thanks, will do!
A weatherby mark v would be cool. I think i would get one in something obscure like a 6.5-06AI. With a thumbhole stock
That would definitely be a cool and unique rifle!
I own a Mark V in 9.3X62 Mauser with a Screwbean Mesquite stock. However mine is rather unique, one being the caliber and the other being matte finished metal and a hand rubbed satin finished stock. I still own the rifle.
@ that’s really cool. I’ve thought of rebarreling my Remington 7600 to 9.3 but i have a hard time justifying that unless i was hinting black bear every year
Another very good video
Thank you!
That was a great video! I only get to watch when I'm at home, but mostly listen in between stops I make on my route at work. Your channel does really well on both fronts. Thanks!
Love that! Thanks for watching/listening!
Screw algebra teachers. I'd have quit too.
Haha! Comment of the week!
@LTArms hell yeah
Thank you once again for your great videos.
Glad you like them. Thanks for watching, we appreciate it!
@LTArms Was just in Spokane WA. His ivory elephant tusks were in a thrift store there. I felt kinda depressed about that...
Those need to be displayed properly somewhere
Ol youtube actually got this one right on the suggestions, never heard of you until now but I have been a lifelong Keith fan now i'm one of yours
Thank you, we appreciate it! We'll keep doing these videos!
Well, how was it!?! Looks amazing, but what was it close to?
Tastes great. Has a slightly sweet taste compared to beef but not at all off-putting. Very lean and tender. Definitely would recommend.
Nice job! Great video, I always liked reading his stories, one was just after he got his first 44 mag, and the local slaughter house called and asked him to help put down 10 big range bulls, of course he said yes, but the item you glean from it is, yes he did the job but his results gained from shooting those bulls, was something, great guy for sure.
Lots of cool stories surrounding Keith. We could probably do 5 videos on him and barely scratch the surface. Thanks for watching!
That's a pretty fugly revover. 🤠
Clint Eastwood at 16:20?
Yup, good eye!
The absolute best gun writer of all time and I sure do appreciate and miss him
He definitely was! Surely missed.
Nice+
Thanks for the visit
PS - I've often wondered why the Army developed a new cartridge for the M-1 Carbine rather than using Keith's already available and more effective .357 Mag
Good question! Would’ve worked fine!
.22 revolvers lose a lot of pressure out of the cylinder gap, you can use a shorter barreled semiauto and get better speeds than with a much longer barreled revolver.
Very good point. We should give this another go around with a semi-auto or bolt-action rifle.
I have drawers full of revolvers and a shop full of casting and reloading equipment that I can credit to Elmer and Skeeter.
Good to hear you are keeping their legacies alive! Thanks for watching!
I remember as a young boy reading articles by Keith. My Dad was a big fan of his. Thank you for linking that short interview!
You're welcome, glad you enjoyed it!
Recently watched your episode on guns of Elmer Keith. Very enjoyable. Thanks for posting everything.
You are welcome, thanks for watching and commenting!
Elmer's voice is far less 'country' like than I'd imagined. Thank you for this.
Yeah, it is a bit surprising to hear him. You are very welcome, thanks for watching!
Wow this really great
Appreciate that, thank you!
I have to say this is the best video I have ever heard
Thank you! We appreciate that!
Thanks for your time, much appreciated.
Our pleasure!
absolutely wonderful. True True American sportsman and a cherished legend !!!!!
Thank you for watching! He is definitely missed
Nice vid
Thank you!
Elmer Keith was my favorite firearms and hunting writer. I like the Old West, horses, rodeos, and revolvers better than semi-autos so Elmer Keith and his writings were right up my alley. God Bless his memory.
Agreed, thank you for commenting and watching!
I went to Catholic school as a kid, and in our modest library was a copy of O'Conners "The Big Game Rifle".I must've signed it out constantly, and it changed my life.
Schools kept good books in the library back in those day!
I still want a Model 29
I met him in 1980 at the NRA annual meetings in Kansas City. Apparently he had just arrived. We both locked eyes at the same time from a few feet away. I approached him, we shook hands, and exchanged pleasantries for a few seconds. He was wanting to know where the Pachmayr exhibit was I gave him directions and he headed that way. He was quickly inundated with fans. A while after that Bill Jordan showed up, but I didn’t get to speak with him. Keith reminded me of Pappy Boyington who I also met in person about 3 years earlier. Both of those legendary men were a little short, but they had a lot of hard bark about them. I feel fortunate and honored to have met them both.
Very fortunate to have met him. Thanks for sharing!!
That was just awesome to watch, thanks. Now touch it to Anthony's pecker.
Elmer Kieth the Grand Yota of the six shooter!
Absolutely! 👍
