1 review for 224 Weatherby Magnum
Rated 5 out of 5
Dan Scott –
I have been a devoted Weatherby enthusiast since my dad bought me a .300 WM in 1972….I was 1 year old! Last week I finally purchased my “bucket rifle.” A .224 Varmintmaster, and a German one at that! I have waited 38 years to get this rifle since I first started admiring it in the 1982 catalog. So far it has not disappointed. My 11 and 12 year old sons and I have been busy punching sub-MOA groups with the 55 Grain Spire Points all weekend. Thank you Roy!
