This is an example of a Custom Grade bolt action rifle, that was available on a custom order basis only. This rifle has an early Weatherby marked mauser type action, with claw-extractor, that was manufactured without iron sights and no engraving on the barrel or receiver. It is marked "WEATHERBY/300 MAGNUM" on the left side at the breech with the right side marked with a circled "T". The left side of the receiver ring is marked "WEATHERBY/SOUTH GATE CALIF." with the right side marked with the serial number. Equipped with a Bausch & Lomb 2-1/2 to 8 scope with a Bausch & Lomb mount. The scroll engraved floorplate and trigger guard are gold plated with the remaining surfaces blue. In addition to the scroll engraving, the floor plate has a raised moose. Jeweled bolt and follower, serrated trigger, and checkered bolt handle. The nicely figured pistol grip stock has fancy skip line checkering on the forearm and grip area with rosewood forend and grip cap, gold plated sling swivel studs, cheekpiece and vented Pachmayr White Line recoil pad. The grip cap has a contrasting diamond insert. Contrasting diamond inserts appear on the forearm sides with an additional diamond insert which incorporates and "ERNEST M. WIGGINS" marked inlay on the right side of the buttstock. The included Weatherby case has a "L.L.W." marked initial plaque on the lid.

Excellent. The rifle retains 98% original blue finish showing some minor loss at the muzzle and a few mild handling marks. The trigger guard and floor plate retain 90% of the original gold plating. The stock is very fine with a few minor handling marks and a minor gouge in the overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The scope has clear optics.
