Early Custom Mauser K98k Bolt Action Rifle by Weatherby
serial #6998s, 220 Rocket, 26” tapered heavy Weatherby barrel with a bright, excellent bore. The metal surfaces retain about 99% Weatherby-applied polished blue, the minute loss due to some light handling marks and a few areas of fine surface oxidation. The bolt body is mostly bright with some specks of light oxidation and light gray patina blending throughout. The extractor and bolt release spring are a bright coppery hue. The underside of the barrel is numbered “6998” and “2” just ahead of the receiver. The rifle is beautifully stocked in a lovely checkered walnut Monte Carlo-style left hand stock with a right side cheek rest. The stock rates excellent with a few light handling marks and features an attractive ebony gripcap with mesquite diamond inlay, and contrasting ebony diamond inlays with mesquite borders. The stock is equipped with swivel studs and a factory vented recoil pad from Weatherby. The rifle has no provisions for open sights but is equipped with target blocks mounted to the barrel and front receiver ring. The safety has been modified for use with a scope and the rifle is fitted with a Canjar adjustable trigger. The action is marked “duv” “42”, the original military markings are heavily polished but still somewhat visible. The wildcat 220 Weatherby Rocket was the first Weatherby cartridge that Roy Weatherby developed in 1943 based on the 220 Swift and is capable of producing muzzle velocities in excess of 4,000 fps.. Although it was never commercially produced it lead the way for production of numerous other Weatherby production cartridges. This is a beautiful and collectible early production Weatherby rifle in a true Weatherby wildcat caliber that would fill any shooter’s need for speed. (4A9949-60) {C&R} [Dr. James D. Morgan Collection] (1800/2200)
