Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

Roy Weatherby introduced the original Varmintmaster back in 1964, and for decades it was the rifle coyote and prairie dog hunters dreamed about while flipping through gun magazines. Now it's back, built on the all-new Mark V Standard Short Action, and this 22-250 Remington version manages to look like the classic while shooting like a modern precision rig. The short action keeps the same six-lug layout and famous 54 degree bolt lift the Mark V is known for, just scaled down for the .308 Win family of cartridges, which means a shorter, quicker bolt throw that feels right at home on a fast-paced dog town.
The stock is where this rifle earns the Deluxe name. You get AA-grade Monte Carlo walnut in a deep high gloss finish, fineline diamond point checkering, and a rosewood forend tip and grip cap set off with maplewood spacers. The metalwork matches with high polish bluing that pairs with the wood the way Weatherbys always have. Under all that heritage sits a very current 24 inch hand-lapped #2 contour barrel with a field crown, threaded 1/2×28 so you can run a suppressor or brake without any gunsmith work. The big upgrade over the originals is the 1:8 twist rate, a serious jump from the old 1:14. That opens the door to heavy-for-caliber bullets like 75 and 80 grain match loads, so this 22-250 can stretch out well past traditional varmint distances.
A TriggerTech Field trigger handles fire control with the crisp, clean break that trigger has become known for, and the whole package carries Weatherby's Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee. The receiver comes drilled and tapped with no iron sights, so plan on mounting glass, which is exactly how a rifle like this should be set up anyway. Capacity is 4+1 through the hinged floorplate. Whether you are calling coyotes in winter, thinning out prairie dogs in June, or just want a walnut and blued steel Weatherby that shoots like a modern rifle, this one covers both jobs without apology.
This new production run uses a 1:8 twist, a major update from the 1:14 twist on the original Varmintmasters. That faster twist stabilizes heavy-for-caliber bullets, including 75 to 80 grain match loads, so the rifle handles long range work the old ones never could. Lighter traditional varmint bullets still shoot fine through it as well.
Yes, the 24 inch hand-lapped barrel is threaded 1/2×28 at the muzzle, so it accepts most common suppressors and muzzle brakes for .22 caliber centerfires. It also has a field crown for consistent accuracy. That is a nice modern touch on a rifle with this much classic styling.
The original was built on a compact six-lug action made specifically for small cases like the .224 Weatherby Magnum and ran until 1994. The new version rides on Weatherby's Mark V Standard Short Action, which is slightly longer than the original and sized for the .308 Win family of cartridges. You also get modern upgrades like the 1:8 twist, threaded muzzle, TriggerTech Field trigger, and a Sub-MOA guarantee.
No, it ships without sights or optics. The receiver comes drilled and tapped from the factory, so mounting a scope base and rings is quick and easy. Given how flat the 22-250 shoots, a quality variable power scope is the natural pairing for this rifle.
