Wanting a lightweight model, preferably a Backcountry, or an older Ultralight version. Prefer 26" with a brake.

Thanks

@LEO Outfitters how many weeks out are the backcountrys once ordered lately?
Unfortunately, I don't have the ability to order directly from Weatherby. I have several wholesale distributors that I can order from, if they have a particular firearm currently in stock. Long guns usually arrive at my location about 5 days after I place the order. Then another 5 days to get from me to your FFL, assuming I have all the required info to ship. Is there a particular model/caliber you're looking for?

This is why I overthink buying things on purpose. Glad, once again.

I somehow stumbled into the Cinderlite, and can’t believe it has no fanfare and can’t even find it on the Weatherby site. Now I think I know? Looks like a GROSS misprint on gallery of guns...a full pound off on weight.

Different UPC, sure, but I can’t see how a 308 is exactly one pound heavier than a 7 mag. @LEO Outfitters how does this cut and paste info look to you on the Cinderlite?

Bluto I understand your concerns. When I came across this model, I had some questions as well, because I was not familiar with this rifle. I ended up speaking directly with Weatherby. They assured me that the specs I had were correct, and that it is basically " the old Ultra Light with a facelift". He went on to tell me that the specs are virtually identical to the Ultra Light, which are still on the website. Click the link below to see them:

I assure you nothing shady is going on, and I can't find anything in the listing you posted that would lead me to believe there was a misprint. Feel free to give me a call if you have further questions, or would like to discuss it further.

7mag has a 26" #2 contour tube as well as the longer action

308 loses 4" of barrel, is a #1 contour, as well as having a bigger bore to remove more material, in a shorter action, i could see a 1lb difference in all that.

My .300wby UL comes in right at 7lbs with just a tiny bit of bedding material.

Andrew, I had separately emailed through the contact form and received basically the exact same info. Funny they sent me a different link to a discontinued rifle, but exactly the same numbers.
The only mystery being that there was no 308 available so i can’t verify the weight on a chart, but being a short action I *think* I can assume it would fall into the 6 lug weight range of...just call it sub 6 pounds? Does that pass a sanity check here? (Email from Weatherby copy pasted below.)


It will be the Mark V Weathermark LT. Here is the following link.

Yeah, that actually does make sense I suppose. Hoping that checks out with the 308 on this rifle. If so, I think I’ve found my next stick after 6 months of looking!
