Hey at least it was probably actually done by Weatherby and it isn’t chambered for some 7mm TomDicknHarry Mag that nobody has ever heard of. Probably feeds too.
If that can be called a “bright side”.

Probably done in the 70s at the height of the Weatherby craze?
If the owner is still alive I'm wondering if he's kicking himself.

Bsa1917hunter; That indeed is a wise choice. Sad, sad, sad screw up (destruction!) to a once wonderful Rifle. Fitful sleep last night - I hope I get over "this" soon. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy

Hindsight is 20/20. In 1949 (the last year the 7M/M was catalogued) the price of all Standard Rifles with a 22G rear sight was the princely sum of $106.00. The 7M/M was so popular it was discontinued (along with the 250-3000 SAV) the following year. No one wanted the 7M/M. The owner of this rifle did not give a second thought to re-chambering the gun for the Weatherby cartridge or how people would feel 50 years later because he did. He also had the rear bridge drilled for scope use and added both a pad and coat of something extra to the stock. The gun is what it is. Just my thoughts.

Yeh, it's to bad it is not original, but with that said if it doesn't get too high I would like to buy it to use as a hunting rifle

A Bridges or Legend and off you go.. Shame it was changed, but like Pocono mentioned, back then he had no idea it would be worth so much and he probably wanted a screamer... Heck, I can't say I blame him..

Exactly. I wish the rifle could talk. It probably has some wonderful stories to tell. The 7mm Weatherby is a great cartridge.

The quote is "Oh, the humanity!". It's from the "WKRP in Cincinatti " episode where they had a turkey drop for thanksgiving. Les Nessman was covering the event, and the turkeys just kept falling. This caused Les a fair amount of distress. The line might could have been used earlier in a fairly well known disaster, but I'd be too young to know anything about that. It's a shame about the rifle, too.

I had to resize them to post them. Amazing, but take inflation into account. That was a lot of money back then.
