Sorry if I offend, but that gun looks like it should to be held by someone in front of a motel that books by the hour wearing a pink hat and bell bottoms ... What a shame to do that to a pre-64 375 ...

I'd guess someone has more than $5,000 in it.....I sure hope he got his money's worth as it's not likely someone else will se it having that much value.

If you are in love with that stock and the engraving....go for it!

If you like engraving, I suppose that's not too bad but, that stock is good only for tent stakes. As a barreled action, I suppose $1500 would be a good price. There is absolutely no collector value remaing in that rifle.

If you have a Bullimic girlfriend you could just show her that rifle after each meal and save her the trouble of having to use her own finger.... rotflmo

What a shame to do that to a pre 64. I would think the action would be worth @ $1000-1300 though if you were wanting it for a rifle build.

Hell, no! They have ruined a perfectly good Model 70 with that abomination of a Weatherby treatment! Such an abortion would only be prized by a sequined, rhinestone cowboy who drives a Canary-yellow Caddy convertible with a set of un-sawed-off longhorns screwed onto the hood.................

The current bid is "0" which I feel is too low.

Throw the piece of crap they call a stock away, throw the barrel away and run the action through a surface grinder and it might be salvageable.

Offer him $100

Maybe I should have added this

stir

or this

jumping

Because when I came upon this auction my reaction was

Eeker

then

bewildered

As a self admitted pre-64 slut I would never consider buying that abomination. All in jest...

I think the rifle was used by Shaft in his first "blacksploitation" movie in the 70's.

I particularly like the constipated moose in the pistol grip.

And even I, a Weatherby fan (don't shoot me Wayne), look at this and can feel my estrogen levels rising. My seven year old daughter would look at this and say "Daddy, I don't like Princesses anymore!"

My 12 year old feels it "is a bit overdone." He wonders why you would put a lion and a deer on the same rifle, and then put a "hog" on the floorplate. He wanted to know if it came that way or if someone did "that" to it.
