Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires New Weatherby XXII

The online pdf Weatherby catalog lists the XXII SA. The SA stands for semi-automatic. Looks very much like a 10/22, says they're working with Magnum research. The magazines look Ruger, the action looks Ruger. Has anyone handled a Magnum Research 10/22??? I'm wondering if they are going to sell just the stocks?? One of those stocks, turn down a bull barrel to fit in. Could be nifty .... Don't think I'll be buying one after my last XXII experience. But I don't think Weatherby could screw-up a 10/22

The catalog says pricing will be on the Web, but its not listeed on the web.

What was your expereince with the Weatherby? I think the new SA is expensive.

I've had some ejection issues that Weatherby wouldn't fix ... as a matter of fact, they said it was normal. Show me a RH rifle that is normal to eject between the scope and action?? I had to buy the parts to fix it properly myself!! It was returned to me with a missing e-clip which rendered the safety and trigger worthless. I was told they didn't touch it when it was there (that's not hard to believe since nothing was done to it). They did offer to send me a free e-clip but it would take 2-3 weeks. Well they did send my a new e-clip and didn't charge me for it ... HOWEVER, they did charge me $7.80 to ship it to me!! While waiting, I was able to buy 25 of these clips at the local hobby shop for $2.99.

I really do like the products they market ..... but their customer service SUCKS

Where did you see a price for one???

I have only seen the suggest retail price. It is given as a range as I recall in their new catalog which you can download at their website.

Avagadro,
What parts did you buy for your Weatherby?

extractor, shell retainer and the retaining clip that hold both in place
