Will do & thanks for the info.

I’m going to check them out. A lot of history behind these old scopes and Weatherby’s alike. Thanks for sharing.

Great ideas and will do. This .224 is my first Weatherby and I’m looking at a couple more that have gotten my attention lately. Wow! You’ve got some heirlooms it sounds like. I’ve got a few of my Dad’s old guns to pass down as well to the kids and grandkids too. Thanks for the ideas.

Thanks. I don't think I will shoot it any. I have a few other rifles that I really like to shoot. Great advice. I'd never heard of a Kollmorgen scope before.

Thanks Dean. I saw one on Vintage Scopes.com for $399 and a near mint was $499. I think I’m going to get the near mint one and put it on it just to make it as close to original as I can probably get it. See the picture attached. Thanks for the info.

Tommy, I have a question as I am trying to decide whether or not to put a period correct scope back on my Weatherby .224. Here is a picture of the scope that came on the rifle when it was purchased new in West Germany in December 1963. The gentleman I got the Weatherby from kept this original...

Absolutely beautiful gun! I bet the deer stop and stare at the shine before you pop the cap! 😁👍

Indeed! I have some beautiful shotguns. I love my Remington 1100, 12 ga Sporting shotgun to hunt with. Guys say to me, “Wow! That gun is too pretty to hunt with, isn’t it?” My reply has always been, “life is too short to hunt with an ugly gun!” 😁

Thanks for the info. Yea. I called around to see if anyone had any 224 ammo and a pawn shop about 20 miles away said they did. So I stopped in there a few days later and it was 224 Valkyrie they had. So, I told them what gun I had and they told me it wasn’t worth but a couple hundred bucks. So...

Thanks Lenny and will do. Just out of curiosity. Which site did you sell yours on? Thanks for the response. Btw, I spent 3 years in the 7th Air Cavalry from 87-90 at Ft. Hood. We had Hueys, Cobras, and Scouts when I was there. That was my favorite assignment of my career.

I think it was a typo the purchaser probably meant $275 imho. Thanks for the note.

Great advice! I’m really looking forward to doing some .224 reloading. My passion is actually pistols and my favorite is the German Luger. As a matter of fact, I have recently ordered a 45acp from the Lugerman in PA who is building reproductions of the original 45acp test pistols the US Army...

I will call them this coming week and see what I can find out. I called a couple of gun shops in my area last week looking for .224 Weatherby Magnum ammo. The first thing they said to me was…”I hope you didn’t pay very much for that gun because it isn’t worth anything.” Thanks to the advice and...

Thanks for the info Tony.
