We’d love to see some of your pictures and stories of how it performs for you in the field. I think you’ll enjoy this gun, but please let us know how it works out on your hunts. Finally, the MeatEater engraved hinged floor plate is a great aesthetic touch that speaks to the ethos of killing your own food. The Monte Carlo hand-laid fiberglass stock has palm swell for better control and an awesome camo pattern. Rain, snow, mountains, saltwater this rifle will stand up to rough stuff. All the metal is treated with Cerakote coating because I beat my hunting guns up in some tough conditions. And the spiral design just looks cool and matches the rifle’s fluted bolt body. It also dissipates heat, helping cool the barrel between shots, which again improves accuracy. Fluting allows you to have that thicker barrel yet remain lighter in weight because of the material removed.

In general, a thicker barrel is stiffer and therefore more accurate. I first started using a spiral fluted barrel on a custom gun years ago, and I fell in love with it. The first thing is the #2 contour spiral fluted barrel. Next, I worked with Weatherby to add some special features that I personally want on my hunting rigs, and that makes this MeatEater Edition something truly different. It has everything that I personally love in a hunting rig. I designed this rifle with Weatherby to create what I think is one of the best hunting guns on the market: accurate, durable, affordable, and just straight-up cool.
