I'm glad Weatherby customer service is still top notch. They did you a huge solid by providing one of the finest pronounced straight-grained stocks I've ever seen on a Deluxe. Although the aesthetic appeal of fiddleback or tiger-stripes is a draw to many, they cannot outweigh the benefits of straight grain stocks in reference to long-term stability for your action and barrel. It is a really, really nice stock! I wish you the best with it! Now that you have it back, brass incoming!
Good afternoon! What a great feeling you must be having. Man I'd be like a kid. Personal victory for you. Good for Weatherby taking care of you. They have impressed me so just moments ago I started shopping for one!
Wow That is a gorgeous work of art. The fit and finish looks amazing. I don’t know how anyone could not be over the moon with that beautiful rifle. I hope it shoots as great as it looks. Weatherby did a stand up job for you. I will definitely consider weatherby for my next rifle. Congrats and enjoy ! Cheers
I liked the first tiger stripe stock, but that was clearly inferior from splitting. I'm glad Weatherby stepped up on the warranty. You are their best advocate for the classic Weatherby cartridges!
I am happy the Weatherby did you right and replaced the stock for you. It is a beauty for sure. The burl was pretty but brittle I think, this straight grain stock has much deeper coloring.
I just ran the videos side by side & once you put the new one into better light it is definitely a more attractive rifle overall, congratulations. Now hurry up & show us you sighting it in. 👍
Of course this new one is better. Actually it's much much better. The old one looks a little cheap, like a DIY product, someone chopped a piece of wood and painted by self. Happy for you bro! And way to go Weatherby!
Good God that rifle is unbelievable. I was almost under the impression I was amongst the very few who loves a beautiful wood stocked rifle these days. One day I'll own a Mark 5. Definitely jealous lol
Like the look of the original one a bit more myself but it's a personal preference thing. This stock is absolutely beautiful too. They did the right thing here.
To a serious gun guy this is porn!! Freaking AMAZING!! And the highest performing cartridges to go with it. This is what American rifle building is all about! Your content is AMAZING 👍👍👍
I like the old one better, but fiddleback walnut “especially California” greatly increases the likelihood of a “check”, the type of crack that you had. It’s a major reason why walnut isn’t used a lot in instrument making despite having great properties and being incredibly sustainable. Tye new one is great though, I got a cheap CZ shotgun with a similar piece and I love that thing.
It doesn’t matter. You’ve got your dream rifle and you’re happy and that’s all that should count. Have a very nice JP Sauer and son from the 80s with a doctor optic rifle scope. The stock quality and finish are comparable to what you have here and I am as nervous as I can be every time I take it out to the range or the woods. Sometimes I have to laugh at myself and ask why did I buy something that makes me this nervous.
It would be nice if they communicated what the defect of the first stock was. Like, was it a manufacturing defect, not having the recoil lug recess aligned properly, or a natural defect? The second stock is pretty, but the original had fiddle wood in the butt end. I like them both.
That tiger figure is called fiddleback. It’s really common on maple not so much on walnut. Both of your stocks are art pieces. Love the maple trim they put in.
My main hunting rifle is a carbon fiber Backcountry which I love. Always been a fan of high gloss wood. They show the scars and story’s over time. I want a Deluxe myself but it will not be a safe Queen.
I would say the new looks better between the two. Nice rifle and Congratulations. Me I would probably get one in 7mm or 300 Weatherby top it with a Meopta Optika 6 series scope either 2.5-15 by 44mm or 3018 by 50 mm .
I actually really like that more horizontal striping. Vertical or slanted is very common. This is very unique, and super nice. You might have come out better thanks to the issue, in my opinion at least.
That’s a beautiful tool. But knowing my luck I’d beat the f*}%k out of it on my first hunt. Not to mention soaking in the rain. I hope it shoots as good as it looks. Well done sir!
It looks to me like they cherry picked the stock. I like this one better than the other one. Extremely happy to see you taken care of so well once again, congratulations on owning your dream rifle.
That's one beautiful rifle!!! I love the tiger striping in the wood. Weatherby has really taken care of you,with how quickly they took care of the problem. I looking at a new weatherby 307, in 257 weatherby.
@@ReloadingWeatherby Nope Last update I got was a few weeks ago. They were working on threading the bolt for the tac knob. I'll give them a call Friday afternoon and see if I can figure out what's going on with it. I have my suspicions and if that's what's happening, all will be forgiven once it's all said and done.
@@ReloadingWeatherby I talked to them yesterday and they finished up the tac knob install yesterday or today. I received an email a bit ago with the update. The only thing left is the Cerakote and to get it shipped out. Which I thought that a month and a half ago but was wrong in my thinking. I hadn't thought about the engraving and thought the tac knob had already been done. I updated the build thread with the pic of the tac knob.
This one by far, far and away !!! I prefer the contrast. In the smoking pipe world, this would be a Comoy’s Blue Riband or a Tom Eltang. Sorry for those of you who have no clue what I am talking about. 😂
Dang R.Dubb... I'm still waiting for Winchester to send my 6.8 Western back that I had to send in to them because they screwed up the scope mounting on one of their combo deals. Whoever mounted the scope broke off one of the ring mounting screws in the pic rail, and the screw protruded into the bolt receiver so the bolt couldn't pass though. Its been six weeks now and counting!... and you got yours back in less than half that time.😭 😭
Also, props to weatherby for building rifles with stocks built for a cheek weld with a scope.
This stock has more character. Glad they did you right......
That sir....is absolutely beautiful. Glad they hooked you up.
Second stock hands down. The contrast from the darker grain lines looks amazing.
My mark 5 fibermark is still my choice every time I'm in the Oregon woods. What a beautiful piece of wood that is.
IT NEEDS A GLOSS BLACK LEUPOLD!!! That’s awesome man. Yes, I will say that on every video with this gun until it happens!
I used to dream of the Weatherby Laser Mark.
RW, thats a beautiful piece of walnut. I liked the first one too. Told you Weatherby would do the right thing.
Wow that stock does look a whole lot better and props to Weatherby for fixing it
Both are beautiful but the second one has much darker lines that just absolutely pop 🤩

Mark V are a kind on their own, really beautiful. Congrats
Awesome! I am glad they made it right for you. I thought that they would.
Wow
That is a gorgeous work of art.

I hope it shoots as great as it looks.
Weatherby did a stand up job for you.
I will definitely consider weatherby for my next rifle.
Congrats and enjoy !
Cheers
Awesome! They hooked you up👍👍 the new one
That stock is absolutely awesome.
To me the grain stands out more on the new one, so I'd prefer it.
That is one sweet looking stock. Very nice work thors hammer with a side of class
Beautiful!! Well done
Wow!! Very gorgeous!
Good deal! I’m glad you got it back so quickly

Sweet, that made me happy, thats a beauty, i like the new stock better than the old one
Beautiful. I wish they offered a custom LOP when configuring a mark v deluxe. I'd have to trim the stock immediately if I purchased a Weatherby.
Can't wait to see how it shoots!
Congratulations, beautiful rifle.
Thanks
I just ran the videos side by side & once you put the new one into better light it is definitely a more attractive rifle overall, congratulations. Now hurry up & show us you sighting it in. 👍
Beautiful wyoming craftmenship
Beautiful rifle ❤
Love this stock just a bit more
Other one was great
But this is now your baby 🎉
I swore, no more pretty rifles, stainless and synthetic only. This Deluxe makes me reconsider. Gorgeous.
Of course this new one is better. Actually it's much much better. The old one looks a little cheap, like a DIY product, someone chopped a piece of wood and painted by self. Happy for you bro! And way to go Weatherby!
Thanks!
NGL it’s a beautiful looking rifle mate, cheers Yogi 🤙✌️
Looks nice, hopefully you can enjoy it now.
What a rifle! Congrats. I like the new stick better.
Good God that rifle is unbelievable. I was almost under the impression I was amongst the very few who loves a beautiful wood stocked rifle these days. One day I'll own a Mark 5. Definitely jealous lol
Wow! I'm so happy for you!
Congratulations buddy, beautiful piece. I knew they'd take care of you. Weatherby is a good bunch of folks.
Like the look of the original one a bit more myself but it's a personal preference thing. This stock is absolutely beautiful too. They did the right thing here.
I love wood stocks, they give the rifle character.
I believe the trend from cold aluminum chassis & carbon fiber will eventually trend back to the beautiful wood rifles of the past..
Weatherby thinks wood is coming back
The new wave will be micarta
Never. Wood is too heavy for what you get out of it.
I like the new one. Never been as into curly as opposed to grain personally.
Very nice!
Beautiful stock! I’m happy for you. They really treated you right.
Awesome weatherbly hit it out of the park I have a older 257 mag love it from the 80’s still looks would love to a new one to keep it company 👍
That rifle is absolutely gorgeous, the second stock is way sexier than the last

Thanks
I knew the replacement stock was going to be better than the original,
Weatherby came through!!! Now you just need an Alaskan hunting trip on your bucket list. What does a box of shell cost.
Probably a lot
$90-120
That tiger figure is called fiddleback. It’s really common on maple not so much on walnut. Both of your stocks are art pieces. Love the maple trim they put in.
Good looking gun
Awesome 😊

Nice rifle stock!
Both are gorgeous but I honestly like this one better. Congrats on your big 340 Bee!
That's a sweet piece R. Dubb! It looks more custom built with that new stock. Remember... IMR-7828!! 😂
Wow! That's a beautiful piece!
I like the new one better, it looks fancier to me. But both looked really nice, that is a beautiful rifle.
Thanks
New stock by a long shot. I think they chose that to make it right.👍
Almost looks like Zebra wood. Fancy. Glad they did the right thing.
I would say the new looks better between the two. Nice rifle and Congratulations. Me I would probably get one in 7mm or 300 Weatherby top it with a Meopta Optika 6 series scope either 2.5-15 by 44mm or 3018 by 50 mm .

WOW, Best wood I've ever seen
The other stock, I told you to split the cost with them. Just kidding it’s super sweet congrats 🎉 🎉🎉
I like the new one better for sure
To beautiful to shoot
Amazing looking congrats it worked out man
The new one!
It looks to me like they cherry picked the stock. I like this one better than the other one. Extremely happy to see you taken care of so well once again, congratulations on owning your dream rifle.

Absolutely beautiful
That's one beautiful rifle!!! I love the tiger striping in the wood. Weatherby has really taken care of you,with how quickly they took care of the problem. I looking at a new weatherby 307, in 257 weatherby.
Which 307 you looking at?
This one is absolute perfection 😎😎
I was very dubious about Weatherby's response time regarding your rifle. Thankfully, Weatherby proved me wrong - congratulations!
Congrats on getting it back so quick!!!
I like the new one better.
Thanks! Any update on your gun?

@@ReloadingWeatherby I have that rifle all put together and ready to go if you wanna check out that thread and see it.

Nice😊
New stock I like more
It's so pretty!
Thanks!
Don't put me through this again...she's beautiful. Hard to say which is nicer because both are so easy on the eyes.
Absolutely beautiful 👌💯
Personally I think the new stock look better. By a mile
New stock looks better imo
Knibb High Football rules!!!!
Ya, you are going to cost me money with this. I want a 340 so bad. Trying to think of what I can sell...
But....will it crack again?? Did they bed the action to help prevent a crack??
They did
@@ReloadingWeatherby should be standard from weatherby with 300 up magnum in a wood stock. Prevent splits, improve accuracy
No offense but you could shart a video out and get lots of views... you are just a likeable fella.
The new one
Gorgeous looking rifle. Do you worry about the elements with a wood stock?
Kind of
Now shoot it with muzzle BRAKE ON this one is super ++ looking. Take no chances..
Like the new one better, if that's possible!
The new stock is way better!
Wow
