Weatherby Makes a New Home in Sheridan, Wyoming

The entry sign is up for the new Weatherby facility in Sheridan, Wyoming.

Founded in 1945, family-owned Weatherby, Inc. is nearing the final steps in its move to Sheridan, Wyoming, from Paso Robles, California. Weatherby established residency in the new Sheridan facility March 1, 2019. 

“When you see the words ‘Sheridan, WY’ stamped in the side of a Mark V action, it just looks right. We are excited to see the beginning of our manufacturing in Sheridan, Wyoming,” said company President Adam Weatherby.

The first firearms that will be built in the new facility in Sheridan will be the new Wyoming Commemorative rifles. There will be two versions: Gold and Silver. Both firearms will be chambered in the well-known cartridge .300 Weatherby Mag and will feature the widely recognizable “Bucking Horse and Rider” beautifully engraved on the floor plate.

Introducing the Wyoming Commemorative Gold Edition. These will boast the first WY serial numbers ever stamped into a Mark V receiver.

Both Gold and Silver stocks will feature a custom-designed mountain scene integrated into the classic fine line checkering. The receivers are highly decorated with beautiful engravings. The Gold version will also have gold and silver barrel bands and will include a custom felt lined, leather case.
