Thread: Weatherby Backcountry Ti 2.0

Has anyone come across one of these shooters?
Asides from the price tag they look pretty slick.
I imagine a 280ai would be a pretty mint all round nz boom stick

I wouldn’t say no to a standard 2.0 and yes the 280AI would certainly get the job done

Never seen but definitely coveted

Are weatherbys not a thing in NZ?

I really wish they were, don't understand why they Aren't, only thing I heard was that the agent couldn't get stock due to NZ market being so small. They make some very beautiful rifles imo

Oh bugger

Chloe at GC said they could probably get one on special order but it would take quite a while and I’d imagine wouldn’t be cheap.

Brian Call Gritty has used them a bit inhis videos. Started with the 6.5RPM for use on bear, ow use it the 338 rpm(?) with short barrel on moose etc. He really likes them for light weight

Is Steeve wholesale not the current importing agent for weatherby?

There is a shipment of kimber in 280ai that arrived in the country, if that can be an option for you.

Any idea if other calibers came in from kimber

Nice. Probably a cheaper one!

This was who I was told to contact by weatherby USA when I enquired about getting weatherby products in NZ, sadly they have pretty much given up trying to get any weatherby products it seems. At least that's the impression I got when I spoke to the owner.

Shame, they look like the perfect tops rifle

I think there were only 35 rifles in total. Maybe ask your local gunshop to ring nzasia, and they will be able to tell you what is left.

I tried getting one in 6.5rpm and was told to go through tasco in aussy after a few emails its basically not possible unless you have an unlimited budget
