Weatherby says these rifles are capable of sub-MOA accuracy – groups under 1 inch at 100 yards – when using Weatherby factory or premium ammunition. The action is built with a one-piece machined bolt body, fluted to reduce weight and improve smoothness. It includes built-in safety features like three gas ports to vent pressure in case of a ruptured cartridge, and a strong M-16 style extractor.

The receiver is a single piece with an integral recoil lug for strength. It features a hinged floorplate for easy loading. This Sporter model has a classic look while maintaining Weatherby’s reputation for accuracy.
