STOCK

Usually wiping the stock with a dry clean cloth or a silicon cloth is all that is necessary. If

you have been hunting or shooting in wet weather, let the stock dry before reassembly.

RUST PREVENTION & REPAIR

1. During normal maintenance, after a thorough cleaning, allow 2-3 hours at room

temperature, for all metal parts to dry completely. This will allow any moisture that

has collected on your metal parts to dry completely. This will allow any moisture that

has collected on your metal parts to evaporate. Apply a liberal amount of high grade

Gun Oil,

wiping off any excess with a clean cloth.

2. If rusting does occur it may only be surface rust due to excessive moisture. You

may be able to clean it by using a plastic bristled gun brush and cleaning solvent. If

this is successful repeat item #1 above. If you are unable to remove the rust, please

contact a Weatherby Authorized Service Center or your local gunsmith. Immediate

attention to this problem is imperative to prevent unrepairable rust damage. DO NOT

ALLOW RUST TO GO UNTREATED!

RIFLE REASSEMBLY AFTER CLEANING

1. Replace the receiver-barrel-trigger assembly into the stock.

2. Insert the magazine box into its cavity on the underside of the stock. Push it all the

way into the receiver.

3. Hold the riﬂe in a vertical position and place the trigger guard assembly with its

follower and follower spring into its cavity. Hold it in place.

4. Insert the trigger guard screws.

5. With a screwdriver of the proper size, lightly tighten the screws.

6. Grasp the barrel and pull it to the rear to seat it properly.

7. Tighten the front screw ﬁrmly and then the middle and then the rear screw.

8. Assemble bolt to receiver. (see page 6)

STORING YOUR RIFLE

1. Store your riﬂe and ammunition in two different places.

2. Do not store your riﬂe in a leather case, scabbard or foam lined gun case. Leather and Foam

can attract moisture and cause rusting.

CAUTION: Do not apply oil or lubricant to ammunition. Excess pressures can

result when ﬁ red in this condition.
